Which part of memory allows us to go about our daily lives?
Working memory
[ "Memory\n\nThe working memory model explains many practical observations, such as why it is easier to do two different tasks (one verbal and one visual) than two similar tasks (e.g., two visual), and the aforementioned word-length effect. However, the concept of a central executive as noted here has been criticised...
