St Lt Memory

Question 1

Short term

Answer 1

Input first enters stm
Stored around 18 seconds & holds 7 items of information

If rehearsed it can be stored in STM for many minutes and then can be transferred to LTM

Initial memory store that is limited and temporary

Question 2

Long term memory

Answer 2

Last for minutes to an entire lifetime
Hold potentially unlimited amount of information

Encoding is largely Semitic but can be visual or acoustic

Memory store that holds potentially limited amounts of information for long time

Question 3

Duration

Answer 3

Length of time information can be stored in STM and LTM

Question 4

Capacity

Answer 4
