Working memory is a type of <u>short-term memory</u> that is associated with numerous basic processes and abilities, such as <u>decision making and problem solving</u>. It stores temporary information that will eventually be extremely useful for <u>day-to-day activities such as learning and comprehending both spoken and written information.</u>
However, short-term memory has a limit of information that we are able to store, also known as "limited capacity."
<em>For instance, when we are having an argument with someone, we tend to come up with responses or answers but we have to wait until the other person finishes talking. While they are talking, we are paying attention to the person but we are also remembering our own argument.</em>
