sensory register is not under cognitive control
what is the coding of the sensory register ?
information is stored raw and unprocessed and the information that is payed attention to is moved into the STM
what is the capacity of the sensory register?
it is very large
what is the duration of the sensory register?
it has a limited duration
what is the study that supports the sensory register?
Sperling
the STM temporarily stores information received from the sensory register
what is the coding of the STM?
information arrives in its raw form then it is processed into a form that the STM can deal with
what is the capacity of the STM?
5-9 items but this can be increased the chunking
what is the duration of the STM?
around 30 seconds
what study supports the duration of the STM?
Peterson and Peterson
what study supports the capacity of the STM? 
Jacobs
what study supports the coding of STM and LTM?
Baddeley
LTM is a potentially permenant memory store for information that has been rehersed
what is the coding for the LTM?
semantically coded
what is the capacity of the LTM?
it is unlimited but information can be lost due to decay and interference
what is the duration of the LTM? 
it is dependent on an individuals life-span
what is the study that supports the duration of the LTM?
Bahrick
what is the study that supports the idea of a separate STM and LTM?
Patient HM
