Memory types include sensory (brief perception storage), short-term (temporary holding of info), and long-term, which splits into explicit (conscious) and implicit (unconscious).

For example, positron emission tomography (PET) studies have shown activation in the parietal operculum (area SII), an associative somatosensory area, during working memory tasks that use ...

Working memory and sensory memory are examples of short-term memory processes, while episodic memory and semantic memory are examples of long-term memory processes.

Working memory is thought to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small number of items, but it has recently been proposed that working memory might be conceptualized as a limited resource ...

Working memory is the retention of a small amount of information in a readily accessible form. It facilitates planning, comprehension, reasoning, and problem solving. I examine the historical roots ...

By working to understand how new AI systems integrate flexible and incremental learning, researchers gained insights about ...

Working memory is a form of memory that allows a person to temporarily hold a limited amount of information at the ready for immediate mental use. It is considered essential for learning, problem ...

The examples show how specific proposals for necessary and/or sufficient computational and memory requirements can be more rigorously assessed on a task‐by‐task basis.

But our routine deluge of information can make us feel scatterbrained, like our working memory has too much to deal with. Here's how to tune-up your working memory and stay focused.

Working memory can be temporarily impaired by anxiety or stress, craving, and alcohol intoxications. This means that the demands on the WMC exceed its limited resources. For example, stress and ...

For example, a more advanced version might crawl Wikipedia and figure out what significant concepts, like names, places, and dates, to store in memory.

So performing working-memory tasks (for example n -back) does seem to make you better at doing them. Nonetheless, the fact that participants got better at such tasks does not necessarily mean that ...
