Measuring STM Capacity: Digit-Span Task
• Instructions: Recall the digits in the order presented.
• Span Defined – list length that produces accurate performance on 50% of trials
![Page 4: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
numbers
• Digit Span Defined: # of digits accurately recalled 50% of the time• Standard Span: 7±2 digits• Modal Model Interpretation (Miller, 1956):
– STM Capacity: ≈ 7 “chunks”

Chunking• Chunking – “the process of combining information
so that it takes up as little as possible of the limited space in STM”
• Chunking capacity
• Why not a limitless STM?– “Chunk chunked chunks?
• Required:– Chunking scheme– Time to apply scheme

Extraordinary Digit-Span: SF
• Materials:– random digits
– auditory presentation
• Results:– After 45 days of practice: span = 83

How did he do it?
Chunk (and elaborated) groups of digits into running times (or historical dates)

Duration & Forgetting in STM
• Brown-Peterson (1958/1959)Task:Initial attempt to measure duration of STM
• Procedure:– Hear target set: 3 letters
– count backwards for X s
– recall target set
• Manipulation – length of retention interval• Assumption:
– Counting task eliminates/minimizes rehearsal
– Measure of the rate of decay

Brown-Peterson: Main Finding
• Initial interpretation: information rapidly decays from STM
• Note: w/ 0-delay, only 80% accuracy.
![Page 14: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Test of Decay Hypothesis
• Waugh & Norman (1965) – Decay or interference?• Method:
– Auditory digit list (two speeds), followed by probe digit– TASK: name the digit that followed the probe in the list
• Decay prediction: – Recall better at faster presentation rate
• Interference prediction: – Recall equal for both presentation rates
Slow fast Slow fast

Waugh & Norman (1965)
Results:• Recall w/ # of
intervening items– consistent w/ both
decay & interference
• Recall (more or less) unaffected by presentation rate– Consistent mainly w/
interference
![Page 16: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
That was “retroactive” interference:
Items that follow the to-be-remembered information interfere with remembering the earlier stuff:
![Page 17: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
That was “retroactive” interference:
Items that follow the to-be-remembered information interfere with remembering the earlier stuff:e.g. if you have a psych and an english test in one week, if you study psych, then study english, all the english info will interfere with your memory for the psyc info.
But there is a second kind of interference as well:”proactive”:
Information that was previously studied will ALSO interfere with subsequent information you study.
![Page 18: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Evidence for PI in Brown-Peterson Task
-Keppel & Underwood (1962): re-analyzed Brown & Peterson’s data.Took a look at recall trial-by-trial, at various retention intervals
Notice: on trial 1, 100% accuracy at ALL RI’s, only after 3 trials do you see substantial drops, which is more pronounced at longer RI’s
![Page 19: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Wickens, Born & Allen (1963): release from PI by varying target stimuli
-first three trials, target consists of letters, fourth is letters in control, numbers in “changed category” group
![Page 20: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Side track: This issue of decay versus interference can be seen in other areas: e.g. Ebbinghaus’ serial position curve
![Page 21: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

What might a “decay-based” perspective say about primacy/recency? (e.g. Atkinson & Shiffrin’s Multistore/modal model)
![Page 23: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What would the “interference” camp have to say?
![Page 24: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So who’s right?
![Page 25: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So who’s right?
These days, more evidence of forgetting based on interference than decay, although decay isn’t ruled out entirely, since it does have supporting evidence that an interference hypothesis wouldn’t anticipate (anterograde amnesics fail to show a primacy effect)
![Page 26: Short-term memory. Properties of STM Capacity Duration/Forgetting Retrieval Code type Alternatives to Modal’s view of STM.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f425503460f94c6173c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
STM Retrieval/searching: 3 Possiblities
• Issue: – How do we access
information in STM?
– Is Item X in STM?
• Three possibilities:– Parallel –
simultaneous access to all items.
– Serial – consider 1 item at a time.
Retrieval Models
Parallel Serial
ExhaustiveSelf- Terminating

Testing between these alternatives: The Sternberg Task
– Set Size: 1 to 6 letters (well within limit for accurate memory in most people
– Probe Type:• positive (in memory set)• negative (not it set)
