Document Summary
But also shows that we don"t need stm storage before ltm storage. Multiple systems for short term storage (baddeley & hitch, 1974 working memory) Stm and ltm are somewhat independent from each other. Glenberg, smith, & green (1977); rundus (1977) Many tests of memory for 4-digit numbers: Study a 4 digit number (e. g. , 5319) for 2 seconds. Repeat a work (e. g. , barn) aloud for 2, 6, or 18 seconds. Surprise memory test for all repeated words. Mere rehearsal is not very effective for long term storage of information. Example: we cannot recognize the correct configuration of a penny, despite the amount of times we have seen one repetition is not enough. Short term storage is not just a temporary waystation on the way to long term storage. Wm (working memory) is a system for holding and manipulating information in the service of cognition.
