Langston, Advanced Cognitive Psychology, Notes 4 -- Working memory
 
Once information enters the system, it is processed in working (née short term) memory.  We'll consider the properties of that system. Basically, you have two things: Storage and processing. Working memory ability is highly correlated with important measures of intelligence and cognition. So, we'll consider recent efforts to expand this capacity (particularly on what, if anything, can be achieved), and then look at how variables that affect working memory can have implications for higher-order cognition tasks.
And application of working memory to a real-life skills.
