Understand the concept of short-term memory: Short-term memory is a temporary storage system that holds information for a brief period, typically seconds to a minute.
Identify the brain regions involved in memory: The prefrontal cortex is crucial for working memory and executive functions, while the temporal lobe is involved in processing auditory information and is important for memory storage.
Consider the role of the parietal lobe: The parietal lobe is involved in processing sensory information and spatial orientation, but it is not primarily associated with short-term memory storage.
Evaluate the role of the occipital lobe: The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for visual processing and is not directly involved in memory storage.
Determine the correct brain regions: Based on the functions of these brain regions, the prefrontal cortex and temporal lobe are more accurately associated with short-term memory storage than the parietal or occipital lobes.
