Abstract Working memory may be defined as the system for the temporary maintenance and manipulation of information, necessary for the performance of such complex cognitive activities as comprehension, learning, and reasoning. Used in this sense, the term refers to an area of research that may or may not prove to be dependent on a single coherent system. Such a system is proposed within a broad and relatively speculative overview of human memory that emphasizes the putative role of working memory. This is followed by a brief account of a particular model of working memory, and a more detailed discussion of the way in which the various subcomponents of the model relate to other aspects of memory and cognition.
摘要 工作记忆可被定义为用于临时维持和操作信息的系统，这是执行理解、学习和推理等复杂认知活动所必需的。在这个意义上，这个术语是指一个研究领域，它可能依赖于也可能不依赖于一个单一的连贯系统。在一个强调工作记忆假设作用的广泛而相对推测性的人类记忆概述中提出了这样一个系统。接下来是对工作记忆特定模型的简要说明，以及更详细地讨论模型的各个子组件与记忆和认知的其他方面的关系。
