Working temporary storage, limited capacity, relatively easy to access (opposite for. In the (cid:271)rain area it depends the task that"s involved long term) Free recall see how many words people can recall. Which ones they get right and which ones they get wrong. Recency effect: still in working memory so easily accessible. Replace items in working memory with intervening backward-counting task between learning and recall. Function is to increase the speed and accuracy to information is critical. People can remember usually 7 plus or minus 2. Trade off: the larger the chunks, the fewer there can be. Often, they are specific to the material and do not transfer. We need a measure of capacity that considers efficiency. Do the equation and remember the word beside it.
