Detailed explanation-1: -Working memory has been conceived and defined in three different, slightly discrepant ways: as short-term memory applied to cognitive tasks, as a multi-component system that holds and manipulates information in short-term memory, and as the use of attention to manage short-term memory.
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: -Working memory, sometimes called short-term memory, refers to the processes that allow us to hold on to and manipulate information we are currently aware of and working on.
Detailed explanation-4: -Another term used for short-term memory is primary memory, owing to a distinction introduced by William James (1890/1950) between primary and secondary memory (reintroduced to the field much later by Waugh and Norman, 1965).
