Q

Duration and the capacity Of sensory register

A

Duration=Less than half a second

Capacity= very high

However very little of what goes into the sensory register passes further on. But if you pay attention information is more likely ti be passed onto STM

Occurs when we repeat things over and over again. As a result we keep the info in our STM and if we rehearse it long enough then it passes onto the LTM
