Working memory (WM) is the ability to maintain and manipulate internal representations. WM recruits varying brain regions based on task demands. Although the hippocampus has historically been associated with long-term memory (LTM), several studies provide evidence for its involvement during WM tasks. Slotnick (this issue) posits that this involvement is due to LTM processes. This argument rests on the assumption that processes are not shared among WM and LTM, and that WM processes are necessarily sustained. We argue that there are processes utilized by both WM and LTM, and that such processes need not be sustained to support WM.
工作记忆（WM）是维持和操作内部表示的能力。WM 根据任务需求招募不同的大脑区域。尽管海马体历史上与长期记忆（LTM）有关，但几项研究为其在 WM 任务中的参与提供了证据。Slotnick（本期）认为这种参与是由于 LTM 过程。这个论点基于这样一个假设，即过程在 WM 和 LTM 之间不共享，并且 WM 过程必须持续。我们认为，有一些过程被 WM 和 LTM 共同使用，并且这些过程不需要持续支持 WM。
