Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Working memory is responsible for encoding information for immediate use or storage, such as remembering a phone number long enough to dial it. It is a temporary storage system and does not store information for later retrieval like long-term memory. It also does not clear the memory to make room for new information. It is involved in attention, decision making, reasoning, problem-solving, and language comprehension.
