Detailed explanation-1: -Short-term memory (STM) is the second stage of the multi-store memory model proposed by the Atkinson-Shiffrin. The duration of STM seems to be between 15 and 30 seconds, and the capacity about 7 items.
Detailed explanation-2: -Working memory has a limited capacity, typically described as comprising seven plus or minus two items, and a short duration of approximately 30 seconds maximum. The capacity of working memory can, however, be extended by the process of chunking, in which several items are grouped together into a single cognitive unit.
Detailed explanation-3: -(Working memory) It holds only a few items (research shows a range of 7 +/-2 items) and only lasts for about 20 seconds.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is often interpreted to argue that the number of objects an average human can hold in short-term memory is 7 ± 2. This has occasionally been referred to as Miller’s law.
Detailed explanation-5: -Working memory has a limited capacity, typically described as comprising seven plus or minus two items, and a short duration of approximately 30 seconds maximum. The capacity of working memory can, however, be extended by the process of chunking, in which several items are grouped together into a single cognitive unit.
