Local and global persistence exponents associated with zero-temperature quenched dynamics of two-dimensional XY model and three-dimensional Heisenberg model have been estimated using numerical simulations. The method of block persistence has been used to find the global and local exponents simultaneously (in a single simulation). Temperature universality of both the exponents for three-dimensional Heisenberg model has been confirmed by simulating the stochastic (with noise) version of the equation of motion. The noise amplitudes added were small enough to retain the dynamics below criticality. In the second part of our work we have studied scaling associated with correlated persistence sites in the three-dimensional Heisenberg model in the later stages of the dynamics. The relevant length scale associated with correlated persistent sites was found to behave in a manner similar to the dynamic length scale associated with the phase ordering dynamics.
