Question

The best argument that long-term memory and short-term memory (currently referred to as working memory) are separate entities is that: Group of answer choices recent events are remembered better than most past events the recency effect, but not the primacy effect, can be disrupted recalling past events, but not recent events, requires retrieval cues brain damage can leave one but not the other memory intact

Answer 1

Long and short term memory are said to be separate because brain damage can leave one but not the other memory intact.

How do we know that long-term and short-term memory are different?

When a person gets brain damage, it is entirely possible that they will no longer be able to remember things in the short-term, but remember them in the long-term. Or vice versa.

This shows that these memories are different because one can be affected independently of the other which wouldn't be the case if they were the same.
