Preferred term

short-term memory  

Definition

  • Short-term memory refers to the part of the memory that has both brief duration and limited capacity. In contrast to long-term memory, which can store an infinite amount of information over a long period of time, the storage of information in short-term memory is restricted and lasts only a few seconds in the absence of rehearsal.
