Short-term memory (or "primary" or "active memory") is the capacity for holding, but not manipulating, a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time. The duration of short-term memory (when rehearsal or active maintenance is prevented) is believed to be in the order of seconds. A commonly cited capacity is The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two (which is frequently referred to as Miller's Law.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_memory RD
