Heindel and Salloway (1999) have found that memory is not a single homogenous entity. Rather, it is composed of four distinct, yet mutually interacting, memory systems: working memory, episodic memory, semantic memory, and procedural memory. Short-term memory refers to the length of time during which material is remembered, not to a distinct type of memory system.
