What is the duration for STM and who did the experiment?
Peterson and Peterson - trigrams, 20 seconds
3 of 20
What did peterson and peterson find from doing the trigram experimetn?
that you need to rehearse otherwise you wont remember and the trigam will become displaced
4 of 20
Who disagreed with peterson and peterson about the duration of STM?
Nairne
5 of 20
why did he disagree?
he did a study and found that the duration of Stm is 96 seconds, from getting paticipants to recall across a trail.
6 of 20
What did he find?
information stays in STM unless it is displaced.

What was the experiment for the duration of LTM on?
Year books

Free recall - low. Name recall- High. Picture recognition - high. Shows that LTM doesnt diminish over time
18 of 20

Participants may have been in contact so that would have given them an advantage over the others.
19 of 20
