1. short-term memory

   Short-term memory, also known as working memory, is the component of the cognitive system where small amounts of information are stored for a short period of time, typically a few seconds to a minute. This memory system plays a crucial role in concentration, reasoning, reading comprehension, learning, and decision making. Its capacity is limited and information not rehearsed or processed is usually forgotten due to short-term memory's transient nature.

1. Short-term memory

   Short-term memory is the capacity for holding a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time. The duration of short-term memory is believed to be in the order of seconds. A commonly cited capacity is 7 ± 2 elements. In contrast, long-term memory indefinitely stores a seemingly unlimited amount of information. Short-term memory should be distinguished from working memory, which refers to structures and processes used for temporarily storing and manipulating information
