does this book from Levin, E. S. (2011). Working Memory: Capacity, Developments and Improvement Techniques. Nova Science Publishers, Inc. align with -Working memory refers to the system responsible for temporarily holding and manipulating information necessary for complex cognitive tasks such as reasoning and decision-making. In contrast, short-term memory involves the brief storage of information without active processing.

Description Working memory is the executive and attentional aspect of cognition which operates on the data held in short- term memory (which may be thought of as the RAM for working memory's CPU processes) and which is involved in the interim integration, processing, disposal, and retrieval of information. Working memory tasks include the active monitoring or manipulation of information or behaviors. This book presents current research from across the globe in the study of working memory capacity, developments and improvement techniques. Some of the topics discussed herein include working memory and the autistic mind; the effects of visuo-spatial working memory and the ability to move successfully through the environment; as well as working memory and the prefrontal cortex
