Duration
Peterson and Peterson
Consonant Syllable said to participant
participant given a distractor task then asked to recall the consonant syllable
They're study showed that the duration of the STM was about 20 seconds at most
HOWEVER
Marsh et al- when participants don't expect to be tested they can forget in just 2 seconds
other studies have shown that the duration of the stm can be much longer and a study showed that items could be recalled after 96 seconds and that it seemed that information remains in stm for quite a while unless other material replaces or overwrites it.
