Temporary memory is held in RAM, short for Random Access Memory. This memory is not permanent and can be edited or erased easily. It is also erased in the event of a power outage, which is why you should save files to the computer hard drive frequently.
Random Access Memory

A buffer is a region of memory used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a Mouse) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as Speakers). However, a buffer may be used when moving data between processes within a computer

RAM can be thought of as the what for the computer processor?

Think of it as a temporary space or "Blackboard" or "workspace" for your CPU. Like the top of your desk. Limited amounts of things can be worked on at the same time but the access is much faster for things in "Ram" or on the top of your desk. The desk drawers or file cabinets might be a hard drive or disk drive. You can still get stuff from them but slower. But they hold a lot more. Hope this helps!
