- 1Miller (1956)'Chunking'- by grouping numbers or letters together, it makes them easier to remember.
Miller said that the capacity of the STM is 7+-2 - 2Joseph Jacobs (1887)Tested to see how much information the STM can hold, and found that it holds 5-9 items.
Found that digits were recalled better than letters. - 3Glanzer and Cunitz (1966)Introduced the interference task- once you had been shown new information you would have a distraction so you cannot rehease it, then you recall it to see how much you remembered.
- 4Conrad (1964)Encoding in the STM- found that letters that sounded the same (even though they was presented visually) there wasd errors made eg. s was reccalled instead of x.
- 5Baddeley (1966)Compare the encoding in the STM and the LTM (the way that it is encoded)
- 6Brown, Peterson and Peterson (1959)Stuidy how long information stays in the STM whenh it is not rehearsed. Rapid icrease in forgetting from STM as the delay was increased.
- 7Posner (1969)Contradictory evidence, expanded Baddeley's theory.
- 8Hitch and Baddeley (1976)Questioned existance of a single STM store. Used the Working Memory Model to describe the STM in more detail.
- 9Bahrick et al (1975)Duration of the Very LTM- to see if memories could last over decades.
Used an opportunity sample.
Recognition was better than free recall. - 10Standing et al (1970)Capacity of LTM
Showed pps 2560 pictures over a number of days. Pps remembered 90% of the pictures. - 11Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)Multi-Store Model of Memory
