2.

Peterson & Peterson used an IV of duration. By how much time was each trial extent if the participant recalled the trigram correctly?

a)

2 seconds

b)

3 seconds

c)

4 seconds

d)

5 seconds

3.

In the study by Peterson & Peterson, what did the participants have to do between the presentation of the trigram and recalling it?

a)

count backwards

b)

repeat the word "go"

c)

repeat a tongue twister

d)

track a lady bird on a screen

4.

The findings from Peterson & Peterson showed that short-term memory rapidly declines after how long?

a)

30 seconds

b)

21 seconds

c)

18 seconds

d)

15 seconds

5.

What is the name of the test which Miller used to measure the capacity of the short-term memory?

a)

serial poition

b)

free recall

c)

digit span

d)

recognition

6.

Organize these options into the right categories based on the results from Glanzer & Cunitz

Categorize the following

always recalled fairly accurately

primacy effect

rehearsed hence stay in STM longer

diplaced and/or decays

ussually not recalled

recalled accurately when there is no interference task

recall is mostly influenced by decay

recency effect

first set of words
words in the middle
words at the end
7.

Which statements describe the capacity of the STM according to Miller's research?

a)

the average is 7 units

b)

the normal range is 5 to 9 units

the average is 6 units

d)

the normal range is 4 to 8 units

they were all only one syllable

c)

they were all only two syllable

d)

they were all abstract nouns
