Working memory is a cognitive system that allows individuals to temporarily store and manipulate information in order to perform complex cognitive tasks. It is often described as the ability to hold multiple pieces of information in the mind for a short period of time, while also being able to actively work with that information. Research in the area of working memory has focused on understanding the capacity and limitations of this system, as well as how it is involved in various cognitive processes such as problem-solving, decision-making, and learning. Researchers have also explored the neural bases of working memory, with studies examining brain regions and networks involved in its maintenance and manipulation. Overall, working memory research aims to advance our understanding of how humans process and manipulate information in real-time, and how individual differences in working memory capacity may impact cognitive abilities and performance.
