SHORT-TERM MEMORYConrad (1964) found that short term memory codes information according to sound and that visual information is changed to sound codes. However, other researchers disagreed and believed that short term memory is coded according to sounds, semantics and visually.
Miller (1956) believed that most people store seven items such as numbers, letters and words in in short term memory. The capacity can be enlarged by grouping items together which are linked. |
