Memory

1. Short-Term and Working Memory

   • Short-term memory is for the information in current awareness. It is the ability to hold onto information so that it aids in performing an action. Short-term memory is limited, storing information for 20 to 30 seconds before decaying.

2. Long-term Memory

   • Long-term memory is the ability to recall information previously stored in the past. Long-term memory is considered a cognitive skill because you merge relevant information from new experiences with memory.
