6. Reliability high or low in duration for STM duration research?
- High as the settings were controlled
- Low as the settings were controlled
- Low as the settings were not controleld
7. What were the findings of Jacobs research into STM capacity?
- STM is encoded acoustically as PPS found it harder to recall letters which were acoustically dissimilar
- Recall for: numbers=9.3/ letters=7.3.
- 80% of trigrams were recalled at 3 second intervals. This decreased down to 10% at 18 secs.
8. Was age a factor in research into capacity for STM?
- Yes.
- Yes. Eight year olds remembered 6.6 characters, and 19 year olds remembered 8.6.
- No.
9. How was duration for STM tested?
- Using Nonsense Trigrams
- Digit span technique
10. What was validity and generalisability like in study for duration in STM?
- Ecological validity was low as it was a lab experiment. Generalisability was low as procedure was not everyday behaviour.
- Ecological validity was high as it was a lab experiment. Generalisability was low as procedure was not everyday behaviour.
- Ecological validity was high as it was a lab experiment. Generalisability was high as procedure was not everyday behaviour.
11. Who conducted research into Encoding for STM?
- Conrad
- Peterson and Peterson
- Jacobs
12. Duration of STM?
- Infinate
- 18 seconds
- 1minute
13. Who conducted research for STM duration?
- Jacobs
- Peterson and Peterson
- Conrad
14. Findings of duration of STM research?
- 80% of trigrams were recalled at 3 second intervals. This decreased down to 10% at 18 secs.
- Recall for: numbers=9.3/ letters=7.3.
- STM is encoded acoustically as PPS found it harder to recall letters which were acoustically dissimilar
