Short-term memory as a working memory control process. There is a unique distinction between short-term memory and working memory. Short-term memory is used for holding small pieces of information over a short period of time and the working memory is part of the short-term memory that deals with immediate processes and scientists use it to refer to sustained neural activation. So even though the they directly correspond to one another‚ they have distinct differences that set them apart such as the

CMOS Memory Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) is a transistor that combines both positive and negative channel in the same circuit‚ and consume lower amounts of power when compare with single polarity devices. In 1963 C. T. Sah and Frank Wanlass prove that combining both channels in a circuit drew close to zero power in standby mode. RCA laboratories first produce CMOS technology for aerospace and commercial applications. The first static RAM was introduced in 1968 with
