1Peterson and Peterson (1959)Aim : to see if rehearsal was necessary to hold information in the short term memory store
method : participants were asked to remember letters ( FIS ), then given a delay during recall in which they were required to perform an interference task. ( counting backwards in threes ).
results : participants had virtually forgotten all the letters after 18 seconds.
conclusion : we cant hold information in the short term store unless it is rehearsed.
