Short-term memory, a component of the memory system, temporarily stores and manages information for immediate cognitive tasks. It has limited capacity and a brief duration, typically holding information for about 15-30 seconds. Short-term memory is involved in tasks like recalling a phone number or following directions. The rehearsal process can transfer information from short-term memory to long-term memory for more extended retention. This transient storage system plays a crucial role in cognitive processes, enabling individuals to navigate and process information in the present moment.
