What is the difference between short-term and long-term memory?
Short-term memory is how we recall new information. It's the brain's temporary holding space for information. This is how you remember what you had for breakfast or the person you met in group today.
Long-term memory is the brain's system for storing information over extended periods. This is how you remember your best friend from 1st grade.
