CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The theoretical concepts short-term memory (STM) and working memory (WM) have been used to refer to the maintenance and the maintenance plus manipulation of information, respectively. Although they are conceptually different, the use of the terms STM and WM in literature is not always strict.

Detailed explanation-2: -Working memory is related to short-term memory, but it lasts slightly longer and is involved in the manipulation of information. If someone tells you something and you write it down, it might not matter that your short-term memory is faulty because you don’t have to hold on to that memory beyond documenting it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term short-term store was the name previously used for working memory. Other suggested names were short-term memory, primary memory, immediate memory, operant memory, and provisional memory. Short-term memory is the ability to remember information over a brief period (in the order of seconds).

Detailed explanation-4: -Short-term memory is the capacity to store a small amount of information in the mind and keep it readily available for a short period of time. It is also known as primary or active memory.
