Kerry's working memory is responsible for temporarily storing information needed for immediate tasks, such as the specific items his mom asked him to buy at the store. The information may later be transferred to long-term memory if it is deemed important or relevant enough to remember in the future. The cerebral cortex and hippocampus are also involved in memory processing, but they are not the most appropriate answer in this scenario.
