• Working Memory

Any time you add up the price of groceries in your basket, follow a recipe, or copy a line drawing, you are using your working memory. This kind of memory is how the brain temporarily stores the information used in short-term reasoning and planning. Much of the information in the working memory may be forgotten within a short time. For example, if someone tells a cyclist about an upcoming water station, once he’s stopped for water he may forget this information.
