Ask AI: Explain the concept of "mental hardware" and provide ONE (1) example of cognitive structures that fall under this category.

"Mental hardware" refers to the cognitive structures that are fundamental in our minds, which includes the brain's mental and neural mechanisms. Another way to perceive these structures is like the built-in tools that our brain uses to process information. These are the fixed processes and systems within our mind, such as memory capability, attention span, and perception that aid our cognitive functioning. One key example of cognitive structures that fall under the 'mental hardware' category is "working memory". This cognitive structure allows the temporary holding and manipulation of information. It's like a mental workspace where information is kept for short periods of time, as it's being processed or used in various cognitive tasks such as reading, learning, and understanding. While it's engaged, we can analyze, evaluate, and seek to comprehend incoming information, making connections with information already stored in our long-term memory.
