All right.
00:01
So this question is asking.
00:02
Early studies of the capacity of short -term memory suggested that most people could remember approximately blank bits of information.
00:10
A, 2, b, 3, c -7, or d -10.
00:15
Again, when you're remembering facts or any sorts of bits of information when talking about a specific concept or maybe even a term in psychology, as with most things, it is pretty difficult to find.
00:30
Any sort of easy way of remembering it, especially when it's stuff like this, where it really is just a single number that allows you to remember this bit of information, which is kind of ironic because we're talking about remembering bits of information.
00:48
So when talking about the capacity of short -term memory, you could assume that when something is kept in the short -term, it's probably not a lot of things.
00:58
So 10 is a lot of, 10, i'm looking at option b, is a rather larger portion of information.
01:09
And you might think, oh, it's not that bad.
01:11
But, you know, when looking at a phone number, are you going, i'm not saying that that's, let me think is that 10.
01:17
Okay, i think it was 6.
01:19
Yeah, that's 10.
01:23
Would you be able to remember a phone number initially just by looking at it? some of you might, some you might not.
01:30
And that's like a really good indicator of like maybe that's not the approximate capacity of short term memory...
