Working memory is memory that includes all other types of short-term memory. Working memory allows a person to transfer memory between short and long-term memory and process it while it is being used. Studies have been done to help people understand what working memory is. Short lists of numbers or letters were used in test subjects to see how much could be retained. In most case the amount that was retained was good, because the transfer of information was there. Working memory has several components that make it work. It has a central executive, which processes limited amounts of incoming information. This controls the system whole short-term memory process. In working memory there are several imputes for storing visual and auditory stimuli. Short-term memory is why people have a hard time remembering a sequence of letters or numbers.

Soon after the digits are heard and served their purpose they are forgotten. This is why people don't remember phone numbers that are given to them. After there purpose has been served it is forgotten. The existence of working memory is proven because in certain cases in people with brain damage can remember only certain things. In some cases people able to remember things from there past before the damage, but could not remember a sentence that was just said to the. This also happens in the reverse. People can remember things that are just said to them but cannot remember past events. These cases suggest the difference between long and short-term memory and also the existence of working memory. This is a disorder know as dissociates disorder. Many people suffer from it and the numbers are increasing ever year. Again ...
