Detailed explanation-1: -Another term used for short-term memory is primary memory, owing to a distinction introduced by William James (1890/1950) between primary and secondary memory (reintroduced to the field much later by Waugh and Norman, 1965).
Detailed explanation-2: -Short Term Memory lasts for around 30 seconds to a minute. Any information not rehearsed in that time will be lost. However, rehearsal will keep a piece of information in Short Term Memory and sufficient rehearsal will transfer a piece of information into the Long Term Memory store for later retrieval.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the information kept in short-term memory will be stored for approximately 20 to 30 seconds, or even less.
Detailed explanation-4: -Items can be kept in short term memory by repeating them verbally (acoustic encoding), a process known as rehearsal. Using a technique called the Brown-Peterson technique which prevents the possibility of retrieval by having participants count backwards in 3s.
