................. memory is 'as a limited capacity temporary storage system that underpins complex human thought'.
Answer: A
The definition describes working memory.
Alan Baddeley defines working memory as a limited-capacity temporary storage system that underpins complex human thought. In the Baddeley and Hitch model it has several components, the central executive, the phonological loop, the visuospatial sketchpad and the episodic buffer, which hold and manipulate information during reasoning, comprehension and learning.
Short-term memory is also limited and temporary, but it is described as passive storage rather than as a system that supports complex thought. Long-term memory is not temporary or limited in capacity, and iconic memory is the very brief visual sensory store.
