What is the capacity of STM? This is based on Miller's idea that…?
7±2 items
Many things come in groups of 7 like the days of the week
Miller suggested we are _________ to remembering this quantity and that a ‘________’ method can _________
Predisposed
Chunking
Help us recall more
What does ‘chunking’ involve?
Making a connection to remember more at one time
Who carried out the digit span test to also establish the capacity of STM?
Jacobs
The digit span test involved presenting…
A sequence of digits to a person they could recall them aloud in order
What happens to the sequence of digits after each response?
The length increases
What was the mean letter and digit span (amount remembered)?
7.3
9.3
The duration of STM is _________ as demonstrated by ____________
18 to 30 seconds
Peterson and Peterson
What did P + P find in 24 undergraduates?
Recalling consonant syllables while counting down from a 3 digit number decreases accuracy over time
What did counting down from the 3 digit number prevent?
Mental rehearsal of the consonant syllables
How is STM coded/processed?
Acoustically
Who demonstrated the different coding in STM and LTM?
Baddeley
In Baddeley's experiment, he found mistakes were made by participants when…
Recalling acoustically-similar words straight after learning them (STM recall)
