1. The frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex

• Plays a key role in mental functions,

including decision-making, explains The

Human Memory.

• It is also involved in processing short-term

memory and longer term memory.

• Short-term memory helps in remembering

tasks performed while longer term memory

retains issues surrounding those tasks.

2. Prefrontal Cortex

• Plays important in developing short term

memory

• According to the Mayfield Clinic of

Cincinnati, Ohio, the prefrontal cortex is

part of the frontal lobe and coordinates

immediate facts.

• It stores information for about a minute

and can hold about seven items, such as a

sentence just read or a phone number to

remember.
