If you can remember only three or less, then your short-term memory is poor; four to seven, then your short-term memory is average; eight to ten, then your short-term memory is good.

Short-term memory lasts from a few seconds to a minute or so, and can be compared to the control tower of a major airport, responsible for scheduling and coordinating all incoming and outgoing flights. A poor short-term memory may lead to difficulties in processing, understanding and organization.
