Clive Wearing - Herpes simplex attacked hippocampus, could no longer remember more than around 30 seconds worth of information. The only person he remembers is his wife and not his kids. He can remember how to read and write and can still sight-read piano music.
Baddeley et al (1975) - Capacity of STM, whether people could remember more short words than long words in a recall test, therefore showing pronunciation time rather than number of items determines STM capacity.
Peterson and Peterson (1959) - duration of STM, test how long STM lasts when rehearsal is prevented. 80% correct recall after 3 seconds, 10% at 18 seconds.
Baddeley - encoding in the STM and LTM, STM relies on acoustic, LTM primarily uses semantic.
