Short term memory capacity

18-40 seconds

Long term memory capacity

theoretically unlimited

Self knowledge types

Abstract semantic trait self knowledge, episodic self knowledge, semantic factual knowledge

Experiment 1

Traits of mother; supported mixed model trait judgments

Experiment 2

Judging self traits; Seemingly supported pure abstraction model, but klein questions if this is because we are so familiar with ourselves

Experiment 3

First year college students; The self is not necessarily special, further supported experience being a key factor in trait knowledge and mixed model theory

Experiment 4

Experience vs. Context; Whether at home or at school, when experience was equated across contexts, it was made clear experience was key factor and not context

HM

Gave evidence for differentiation between episodic and semantic memory systems; could complete word fragment tests with amnesia

Anoetic Consciousness

When one is aware of themselves in the present moment, but lacks the explicit self awareness or reflective knowledge of having said experience.
