the average person will remember how many items in STM

• 8

• 5

• 7

• 9

the average person can remember 7 items in short term memory , but this can range from some people only remembering

• 5 or even

• 4 or even

• 9

• 2 or even

• 10

when will information move to our STM to our LTM

• when we are interested

• when information is rehearsed or elaborated on

• automatically

• when we rehearse 5 times

information that is processed into long term memory is likley to have

• meaning attached

• been rehearsed all the time

• been an interesting subject

• been genetic within the family

information that is processed into long term memory is likley to have meaning attached and therefore

• encoded procedural

• encoded semantically

• encoded visually

• encoded acoustically

information can stay in our long term memory for

• two years

• a whole decade

• a whole year

• a whole lifetime

there is no limit on

• the capacity of STM

• the capacity of LTM

• the capacity of sensory information
