Longterm Memory

Is working memory also referred to as procedural memory? I am asking because long term memory is sometimes divided into semantic, procedural and episodic memories.

Edwin,
Yes, it is. Working memory is knowing how to work through the steps to problem solve, which is following a procedure. So the more students can gain the skills to be able to follow steps and/or formula to solution the more their working memory will be of value to them.
