Peterson & Peterson used an IV of duration. By how much time was each trial extent if the participant recalled the trigram correctly?

• 2 seconds

• 3 seconds

• 4 seconds

• 5 seconds

In the study by Peterson & Peterson, what did the participants have to do between the presentation of the trigram and recalling it?

• count backwards

• repeat the word "go"

• repeat a tongue twister

• track a lady bird on a screen

The findings from Peterson & Peterson showed that short-term memory rapidly declines after how long?

• 30 seconds

• 21 seconds

• 18 seconds

• 15 seconds

What is the name of the test which Miller used to measure the capacity of the short-term memory?

• serial poition

• free recall

• digit span

• recognition

Organize these options into the right categories based on the results from Glanzer & Cunitz

Groups:

(a) first set of words

,

(b) words in the middle

,

(c) words at the end

• recency effect

• recall is mostly influenced by decay

• ussually not recalled

• primacy effect

• always recalled fairly accurately

• recalled accurately when there is no interference task

• diplaced and/or decays

• rehearsed hence stay in STM longer

Which statements describe the capacity of the STM according to Miller's research?

• the average is 7 units

• the normal range is 5 to 9 units

• the average is 6 units

• the normal range is 4 to 8 units

In the study by Glanzer & Cunitz, how was the word complexity controlled?

• they were all 4 or 5 letters

• they were all only one syllable

• they were all only two syllable

• they were all abstract nouns

Which type of encoding is most common in the short-term memory?

• acoustic

• visual

• semanatic

Which type of encoding is most common in the long-term memory?

• acoustic

• visual

• semanatic
