What type of memory would this be? Near-term memory?
on: April 10, 2015, 02:29:45 AM
Sensory memory, working memory (the 7-9 items), and then long term/"permanent."

What about knowing what you need to do today or this week?  What's that type of memory called?  Working memory is in the present, right now.  Long term memory is more permanent and... long term.  So this must be short term memory?  Stuff I'm doing today.  Stuff I want to get done this week.  Stuff I need to remember for roughly the next week and then it's not important.

Short term I guess, but that sounds pretty vague -- a few minutes to a few days?

Actually you will need several types of memory at the same time to perform tasks and to remember what you need to do this week. Cannot isolate them in such context.

I call it a diary, a to do list, a note on the fridge, or an occasion for an apology.

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music
The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women.
