    As for long term memory the possibilities are endless. But there are three types of memory the brain uses, long term, short term and working.

    Working is the go-between of long and short term. It is held that the working memory can hold 5 pieces (+ or - 2) of information at one time. Once the working memory has reached capacity, either the information is transferred to long term memory or it is discarded.
