Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Memory
Part 1: Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Memory
There is a difference between short and long-term memories. Short-term memory refers to the storage space where data and information is stored temporarily and subject to interference or getting lost due to the expiry of the specified time while long-term memory refers to the storage space where data or information is permanently stored and cannot disappear easily as it is defined and protected by the type of storage (Penney 350). In short-term storage, it can be manipulated and the time interval extended as it is not restricted. On the other hand, you cannot change the time interval set for the storage as it is restricted to be permanent at the time it is kept (Cowan 330). Other studies relate short-term memory to the type of storage where the capacity to store data is limited while the long term is where there is unlimited space to store data. In short-term storage, the information is held in the system before it is allocated its space.
Part 2: Sources of Information
I used the following sources to gather information related to the short and long-term memory;

Part 3: Evaluating the Quality of the Information
To evaluate the quality of information provided in the above sources, I used the CARS approach where I evaluated how credible, accurate, reasonable, and supportive the sources are.
Assessing the first source, the author, Cowan provided an abstract of his work which is reviewed by various authors, and he also provides information regarding his education confirming its credibility. It is updated and completely explains the main purpose of the study, an evidence of accuracy (Hochreiter 1750). The author presents the work in a fair way which makes the readers believe in his work. Lastly, he uses sources which upon examining confirm the information presented.
The authors of the second site obey the CARS approach as they provide an abstract of their work and their education, provide updated and detailed information in a fair way and proves sources which are related to the topic of discussion.
The third author also obeys the CARS information quality check. He provides his detailed education data, and a short overview of his work gives a full explanation of the facts used in his work which is up-to-date. The work is also just, and the citations are credible.
