Working memory is the system responsible for the transient holding and processing of new and already-stored information, and is an important process for reasoning, comprehension, learning and memory updating.
All memory is in a sense 'functional' and is generally categorized into those that are 'implicit' (i.e., do not require conscious recollection, like knowing how to ski) and those that are 'explicit' (i.e., that involve conscious recollection of facts and experiences, like knowing where the best place to ski is).
