===== Memory ===== The [[working_memory|working memory]] is proposed to consist of a //central executive// function which holds some sort of a priority queue of tasks for the //phonological loop// and the //visuospatial sketchpad//, which are responsible for auditory and visual short time memory processing. The **central executive** exerts some sort of intentionality that may or might assign tasks of its own volition to its workshorses mentioned above. The **phonological loop** is doing the soundprocessing, for instance repetitions of a word for learning. It seems that even read words are translated to sounds and assigned to this function. The **visuospatial sketchpad** is were our visual and spatial information is processed. The sketchpad is capable of containing three dimensional representations of objects and spaces, and to manipulate them for our inner eye. The [[long-term_memory|long-term memory]] is proposed to be divided into the //episodic// and the //semantic// memory. The **episodic memory** is supposed to contain personally experienced knowledge, and is generally accepted as necessary for us to be able to imagine a personal future as well as remembering a past. The **semantic memory** is supposed to contain general facts about words, symbols, concepts and objects. This is the content for [[language]].
