It’s a little dense and jargon-y.. I feel like I haven’t loaded terms in my working memory and so need to re-look them up.
You are perhaps referring to short term memory there. Or “haven’t kept the terms in my working memory”. Trying to solve the problem with Jack, Anne and George would displace “Type 1 and 2″ from working memory regardless and you would need them in short term memory to keep engaging with them once finished with that task.
It seems to vary (up to the extent of working memory being considered a part of long term memory which happens to be the subject of focus!). I suspect ‘medium-term memory’ is more what I am referring to but some just classify that is ‘long term memory that you possibly will not bother consolidating all that much’. Whatever it is when we ‘get’ the thing we are reading but then fill our working memory with random numbers.

I thought working memory had subsumed short term memory conceptually. Anyway, yes, I meant ‘kept’.
