Statement of the Problem: Memory differences over the
short term and the long-term memory has been thought
to differ in many ways in terms of capacity, the underlying
neural substrates, and the types of processes that support
performance (Rose & Craik, 2012). With certain functions
such as cognitive tasks and high and low frequency words,
the memory works to process the information that enters
the brain and categorizes the information in either short term
(workingmemory) or long termmemory, depending upon the
information being stored (McFarlane & Humphreys, 2012).
Research into the human memory has yet to understand
exactly how short- and long-term memory works in storing
information. This is largely due to a lack of converging
evidence on the construct of attention in memory research
(McFarlane & Humphreys, 2012).
Long standing and recent research into memory has found
substantial evidence and characteristics that separate short-
and long-term memory and models have been designed to
make clear the differences between the twomemory systems
(Rose, Myerson, Roediger III, & Hale, 2010). Researchers have
identified that the human memory is separated into two
memory systems: Primary and Secondary memory. Primary
memory has been identified as the Short-Term Memory
and the Secondary Memory is referred to as the Long-Term
memory (Rose&Craik, 2012). In understanding the difference
in these memory systems, one is concerned over the amount
of information that can bemaintained in each system. Primary
memory or STM is limited in the information that can be
maintained while secondary memory or LTM is infinite in the
information that is maintained in that system. A further point
of separating PM and SM concerns the differences in the type
of encoding, maintenance, and retrieval processes involved in
performance on tasks thought to tap into the two systems.
For example, with primary memory or STM tasks that require
remembering a series of words and/or names of others, one
tends to rehearse the words and their performance is better
when they can do so without distraction. On the other hand,
with secondary memory or LTM tasks, it is usually possible
to rehearse a long list after only a single presentation or to
continuously rehearse even a short list over a long delay.
Another source of evidence for the existence of the two
differential memory systems is the damage to the brain that
will make processing and later retrieving memory impossible
or delayed, especially damage to the hippocampus, which
relays the information to the two systems after entering into
the brain. This comprehensive qualitative research article
will take a trip into the human memory to understand how
both memory systems function separately and in unison
when certain tasks, recognition, recall, and maintenance of
information is tested against both

Tamara C McGill Carter expertise is in Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience
with a focus on the intricate workings of the Limbic and Memory systems.
Her master’s thesis surrounds Human Memory and Encoding, detailing
the fundamental changes that creates as well as destroy memories. She is
currently is training in to become a licensed Neuropsychologist and is also
finishing her final year of the Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s
Educational Psychology and Technology doctorate program, due to
graduate by next summer. Her dissertation’s focus centers on Autism,
TheoryofMind,andExecutiveFunctioning. Sheexpertise inneuroanatomy
further expanded while working with individuals with developmental
disabilities/delays at several Home Health Agencies, which created several
projects centering on how autism and developmental delays affect the
brain. She currently holds dual bachelor’s degrees in Psychology from
Indiana University Northwest in Gary and a Master of Arts degree from the
Chicago School of professional Psychology, the concentration focus being
Trauma and Crisis Intervention.
