- 1Capacity of STM- 9.3 digits and 7.3 letters 7±2 Evaluate- STM limited to approx 4 chunks, size of chunks also matters, individual differences- remember less when really young than late teens Duration of STM less than 18 seconds students each pp given consonant syllable and 3 digit number pps on average were 90% accurate after 3 secs 20% 9 seconds 2% 18 sec Duration of LTM, pps 15 years after graduating 90% accurate 48 yrs 70% for facial recognition Evaluate- STM study not relevant to everyday life. STM results due to displacement numbers might displace syllables another study used auditory tones and found STM had a longer duration Coding- Info we store has to be written in a certain form eg Acoustic or semantic Alan Baddley used word lists 1- acoustically similar but semantically different 2- acoustically different but semantically similar (long short). He tested the effect of acoustic and semantic similarity on STM and LTM. Found pps had difficulty remembering acoustically similar words in STM but not LTM . Semantic fine STM muddled LTM . STM largely encoded acoustically LTM e
