Repeated measures design.
4
New cards

A filler activity where ppts had to count out loud backwards from a random number.

8
New cards
How long did the filler activities last in the second and third conditions?
10 seconds and 30 seconds.
9
New cards
What were the results regarding the serial position effect without a filler task?
Both aspects of the serial position effect could be observed.
10
New cards
What happened to the recency effect in the condition with filler tasks?
The recency effect disappeared, more so in the 30 seconds than the 10 seconds.
11
New cards
What conclusion was drawn about STM and LTM from the study?
They are two separate memory stores.
12
New cards
What does rehearsal do according to the study's conclusions?
Moves information from STM to LTM.
13
New cards
What is the typical duration of STM?
Around 30 seconds.
14
New cards
Why do the first words on the list enter LTM?
They are repeated more often.
15
New cards

What do the last words on the list do?

Remain in short-term memory.

16
New cards
What was concluded about the presence of an interference task?
It leads to decay of memory.
