Unlike [[Long-Term Memory|long-term memory]], which stores information over extended periods, working memory operates over seconds to minutes and is characterized by limited capacity — famously estimated by George Miller at seven plus-or-minus two items, though contemporary research suggests the true limit is closer to three or four coherent chunks.<br />
