Q

Miller (1956) Procedure

What does this support?

A

Observed everyday practice to develop an idea about the capacity of the STM.
concluded that everyday we heavily operate off of the number 7. E.g: 7 days of week, 7 music notes, 7 deadly sins

Supports capacity of STM= 7 ±2 items

Q

Baddely (1967) Procedure

What did this support

A
  • separate pp into 4 groups: acoustically similar, acoustically dissimilar, semantically similar, semantically dissimilar
  • each group given word list reflecting their experimental condition
  • pp had to learn word list and then recall them immediately after, or after 20 min interval.

Coding of memory= long term: semantically
Short term: acoustically
