  • Studies supporting the multi-store model
    • Capacity
      • Sperling
        • ptps briefly shown Grid of words and asked for partial or full report.
          • recalled4 for full, 3 for partial
        • Shows we can take in a lot of info through sensory register but can only pay attention to small part
      • Jacobs
        • ptps presented with lists of digits or words getting larger
          • about 9 numbers recalled and 7 letters
        • STM has a limitredcapacity and we can hold 5-9 items
          • Miller
    • Coding
      • Baddley
        • Semantically similar/ dissimilar words, acoustically similar/ dissimilar words
          • Asked to recall immediately or after 20 mins
        • Ptps struggled recalling acoustically similar words immediately, and semantically similar words after 20 mins
          • LTM codes semantically
          • STM codes acoustically
    • Duration
      • Peterson and Peterson
        • Ptps had to recall trigrams after 18-30 seconds and count backwards when memorising
        • Recalled more trigrams when the interval was shorter
        • Recall is needed else we lose info through decay
      • Bahrick
        • Ptps had to recall names of people from former classes within 15 or 48 years of leaving
          • Forced recall
            • Very low accuracy (15)
          • Photo recall
          • Name recognition
            • Very high accuracy (48)
        • Shows we can store info for a long time but we can retrieve better if given a cue
