Multiple Choice

As Chapter 4 discusses, John Brown, Lloyd Peterson, and Margaret Peterson created a classic technique for assessing short-term memory.

• A) people could recall up to 10 stimuli, after a delay period of 3 minutes.
• B) people systematically recalled only 10% of the stimuli, on each trial in the study.
• C) at the beginning of the session, people could recall only 20% of the items; by the end of the session, they recalled about 40% of the items.
• D) after many previous trials, people had difficulty recalling the stimuli, even with only a short delay.
