Short term memory

    Cards (1)

    • Short term memory If attention is paid to a stimulus, it transfers to the STM. Information is coded acoustically and has limited capacity between 5 to 9 items 7 plus minus 2. The duration is 18-30 seconds unless information is rehearsed. Information will decay if maintenance rehearsal (repetition) does not occur, the information is forgotten and lost from STM through the process of displacement
