Hey there,
Short-term memory and long-term memory are handled by different parts of the brain. There are 3 types of memories: Long term, Short term, Working memory. Long- and short-term memory could differ in two fundamental ways, with only short-term memory demonstrating temporal decay and chunk capacity limits.

This is what I have learnt :)) Hope this helps ;))

Long Term:occurring over or relating to a long period of time.
Short Term:occurring in or relating to a relatively short period of time
Working Memory:
the part of short-term memory that is concerned with immediate conscious perceptual and linguistic processing.
