Footnotes
1
In psychology we call short term memory the memory we use to retain information for short periods of time, such as when we read and soon after digit a phone number, and long term memory when the one we use to store and retrieve events that occurred last night or even many years ago.
 
2
Deficit in movement organization (e.g., clumsiness) which follows a central problem and not effector muscles.
