What were the findings of Bartlett's study?
They changed the story to make it easier to remember, sometimes missing out parts that don't make sense
They found that on average people can remember between 5-9 chunks of information
They found that short-term memory last approximately 18-30 seconds, when remembering unfamiliar information

sensory store and short-term memory
short-term memory and long-term memory

Holism is explaining behaviour by looking at the most complex explanation whereas reductionism is explaining behaviour in its most basic parts
