Front lobes involved in working memory - becomes activated when info retrieved from ltm into working memory or encoded from working memory into ltm. y evidence: monkey watches as reward hidden under two objects. After delay, monkey reaches for object with reward. Monkey with frontal lesions have difficulty doing this.

Memory modulation: system that determines if something is important y y.
