Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Working memory capacity (WMC) is important for many cognitive processes including problem solving.
Detailed explanation-2: -The central executive is a component of working memory that enables us to carry out cognitively demanding tasks (e.g., reading, solving math problems, writing a story). The prefrontal cortex is the brain area primarily associated with the central executive.
Detailed explanation-3: -Short-term memory The shortest type of memory is known as working memory, which can last just seconds. This is what we use to hold information in our head while we engage in other cognitive processes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Working memory is often used synonymously with short-term memory, but some theorists consider the two forms of memory distinct, assuming that working memory allows for the manipulation of stored information, whereas short-term memory only refers to the short-term storage of information.
