A

WHOLEReport Procedure
PARTIAL Report Procedure

16
Q

What is Partial Report Procedure?

A
16
Q

What did Spierling studies indicate?

A

Sensory Memory is very extensive but decays at a very rapid rate

17
Q

What Report procedure allowed participants to recall more information in spierlings studies?

A

Partial Report Procedure

18
Q

What is Short Term Memory? Short?

A

The Temporary System for storing and manipulating information that is actively being used in the moment

19
Q

Why is STM reffered to as the Working Memory?

A

It is the memory we operate off during moments of activity

20
Q

What is the Chunking? Hypothesis?

A

The Capacity of STM does not depend on the amount of information’s but on how information can be grouped into “chunks.”
