Working memory is associated with the activation of the prefrontal cortex (executive functions), the parietal cortex (spatial perception), and the occipital cortex (learning and memory, visual perception) and is essential for the coordination of attention, perception, and decision-making. Deficiencies in these parts of the cortex can lead to poor forecasting, slow reactions, or common mistakes such as forgetting about approaching cars, ignoring traffic lights, or inaccurately estimating the distance to the nearest car.
