Medical Definition

STM

abbreviation
short-term memory
STM, then, is labile, and in the normal course of events, decays over a period of minutes to hours. If the item to be recalled is not, over this period, transferred from STM to LTM, it is irretrievably lost as STM decays.Steven Rose, in The Oxford Companion to the Mind
