Working memory is important for [[reasoning]] and the guidance of [[decision-making]] and [[behavior]]. > > Working memory is often used synonymously with [[short-term memory]], but some theorists consider the two forms of memory distinct, assuming that working memory allows for the manipulation of stored [[information]], whereas short-term memory only refers to the short-term storage of information. Working memory is a theoretical concept central to [[cognitive psychology]], [[neuropsychology]], and [[neuroscience]]. > ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > No results to show for list query. > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[10_Sources/Readwise/Articles/articles - Long-Term Working Memory|articles - Long-Term Working Memory]] > - [[10_Sources/articles - Long-Term Working Memory|articles - Long-Term Working Memory]] > - [[textbook - Hyde&Elsequest_pyschology of women and gender]] > - [[Global workspace theory]] > - [[cognition]] > - [[long-term memory]] > - [[memory]] > - [[stereotype threat]] > - [[Using spaced repetition for your conceptual notes]] #### Research > [!abstract] Abstract: [[10_Sources/articles - Working Memory Underpins Cognitive Development, Learning, and Education]] > > ![[10_Sources/articles - Working Memory Underpins Cognitive Development, Learning, and Education#^306125208]]
