The nature of memory: STM, LTM and duration

You need to be able to explain in a psychological way what short-term memory is, what long-term memory is, and what duration means.

You also need to be able to describe research by Peterson and Peterson (1959) into the duration of short-term memory.

You also need to develop your knowledge and understanding of research methods and will replicate the Peterson and Peterson (1959) experiment that found how long memories last in short-term memory.
