Detailed explanation-1: -Short-term memory refers to the information processed by the individual in a short period of time. Working memory performs this processing. Long-term memory allows us to store information for long periods of time. This information may be retrieved consciously (explicit memory) or unconsciously (implicit memory).
Detailed explanation-2: -But a sharp decline in short-term memory could be more than normal “forgetfulness.” It could be a symptom of a condition called mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of short term memory include where you parked your car this morning, what you had for lunch yesterday, and remembering details from a book that you read a few days ago.
Detailed explanation-4: -During an episode of transient global amnesia, a person is unable to create new memory, so the memory of recent events disappears. You can’t remember where you are or how you got there. You may not remember anything about what’s happening right now.
