Factors that affect the capacity of Short-Term Memory
The influence of long term memory helps to increase the STM capacity temporarily. Reading the information aloud can help to make the recall performance better. Placing information in to rhythmic groups like you do with a telephone number.

Capacity of STM Baddeley et al (1975) found...
That participants could recall more short words than longs words. Participants were able to recall as many words as they were able to articulate in 2 seconds. A strong positive correlation between reading speed and memory span.

Factors that affect the duration of Short-Term Memory
Rehearsal can elongate how long something stays in our STM otherwise the information may be forgotten. The amount of information you have to remember can also be harder with the more information you have.

Factors that affect the encoding of Short-Term Memory
The sound of words when having to remember them. Sounds sounding similar are easier to remember. If information is not encoded acoustically.
