The short-term memory has a limited capacity and is used to remember information temporarily, whereas the long-term memory contains a vast store of information that is held for a long time. The central processor functions to coordinate the other components and determine which information should be acknowledged and held in the short-term memory and which should be stored in long-term memory.
