Hi,
I am looking for some papers where the relation between short term memory or working memory and long-term memory has been explored. Anyone suggesting any paper would be highly appreciating.
Best,
Asheek
Since there is more than one memory model, your question can have different answers. The point is that, there are considerable differences among available approaches. For example, while one study suggested that STM and LTM are different, another article suggested that they are the same or STM is just an active part of LTM. The following articles may help you:
STM and WM are different:
Article About the Distinction between Working Memory and Short-Term Memory
STM and LTM are different:
Article Short-term memory and long-term memory are still different.
Best.
Hi Asheek,
just as I encountered the same question recently, let me share some helpful articles with you from my file drawer :)
Majid is right, there are very different perspectives on this topic. But you will note, that one of the more popular one is that the "STM is activated part of LTM" view is tightly linked to working memory models that usually assume a special role of "attentional processes", which may be responsible for 'loading', re-activating, binding, updating etc. information. In my personal view, I think it is rather plausible that, indeed, STM can represent an activated part of LTM (during retrieval of stored information), but also might be able to create a 'working model' or re-arrangable copy of LTM pieces of information, and that the route from STM to LTM is surely more complex. But this is just my intuition, guided by my sense of real life plausibility :)

Hi all!
I quite go along with René"s proposal.
Also, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that conceptualizing memory models and interactions of the supposed memory components appears to be closely linked to the specific aspects of methodological assessment implemented by the respective authors.
Thus, when discussing memory constructs it is necessary to take into account in some detail the underlying experimental designs and task features.
This may be illustrated by the following two examples from literature:

Hi everybody again,
Am I wrong, or the idea of considering STM as an active part of LTM means omitting STM from memory models? Then it won't be just WM + activated part of LTM + inactivated part of LTM.
Hi again,
I just came across this review article, which is about this topic as well, and so far the most "fun to read" one I have seen so far. It includes a number of very nice references to review articles on specific aspects, and is very clear about why the multi-store or unitary system constructs are perceived as plausible based on different types of behavioral and neural evidence.
Everyone who is interested in this topic, should read this, I think :)
