Q
What is coding
A
How we process information so it can be stored
For example the short term memory codes acoustically

A
Acoustic
4
Q

A
The amount of information the can be held in memory
For example short term memory is limited to 7+/-2 items
6

A
5-9 items
8

A
How long the information lasts in the memory
For example the duration of STM is 18-30 seconds
10
