short term memory store
retains information for an ongoing task
duration
18-30 seconds, limited duration
capacity
limited, 7+-2
coding
sensory and semantic, but main code that short term memory uses is acoustic
miller 1956 
suggested that we can sometimes combine individual letters into larger more meaningful chunks
chunking
chunking is when we group individual letters together into meaningful units
miller suggested that the capacity of stm is determined by the number of chunks not the number of individual items that we have to recall
miller still agreed, however, that the maximum capacity of stm is 7 but isn't limited to 7 individual letters, but 7+-2 chunks of information
by chunking we can hugely improve capacity of stm
