Capacity and Encoding

Today we discussed classic research into the capacity of STM - Jacobs & Miller. We replicated the digit span technique in class.

The capacity of LTM is understood to be unlimited.

We also looked at how information is stored in memory - this is called Coding. We looked over the Baddeley (1966) study into coding in STM and LTM.

The capacity ppt is here and the encoding ppt is here
