If your talking about computers.. RAM.
DDR or DDDR I think you call it. :)
The working memory stage can be thought of as the workshop of consciousness. It is responsible for temporarily holding and manipulating information for cognitive tasks. Working memory helps with decision-making, problem-solving, and reasoning processes.
rehearsed or transferred into long-term memory through encoding processes. Without consolidation or rehearsal, information in short-term memory fades quickly and is replaced by new information.
Short term memory is also called primary or active memory. This type of memory stores data only for a short period time and it can only be a small amount of information stored at once.
The integration of short-term memory with other mental processes is known as working memory. It serves as a temporary workspace where information is actively manipulated and processed. Working memory plays a crucial role in problem-solving, decision-making, and comprehension tasks.
After information has been encoded in working memory, it moves into long-term memory for storage. Long-term memory has a relatively infinite capacity and can store information for extended periods of time.
In psychology, short-term memory is refered to as a passive store, that can temporarily hold a certain amount of information. Working memory however entails a broader concept. Working memory can not only store information but also manipulate information or inhibit irrelevant information. I am pretty sure that a lot of researchers do not agree with me, but you could say that short-term memory is a part of working memory.
Working memory is the system where multiple pieces of information in transit are held for manipulation. It includes the subsystems that store visual and verbal information as well, but differs from short term memory.
Memory and cognition are closely related processes in the brain, with memory referring to the retention and retrieval of information while cognition involves the broader mental processes of perception, thinking, and problem-solving.
Encoding - storage - retrival.
Developmentalists may refer to the ability to make efficient use of short-term memory capacity as "working memory." Working memory involves the cognitive processes of storing and manipulating information over short periods to support tasks such as problem-solving and decision-making.
It is limited to seven or eight chunks of information
When you listen to directions, your brain processes the auditory information received, interprets the instructions, and stores them in your memory. Active listening involves focusing on the speaker, understanding the content, and retaining the information to follow the directions effectively.
