All right, so this question is asking, which of the following is the most accurate description of the capacity of short -term and working memory? a, last for about two days in most circumstances.
00:11
B, lasts for less than half a minute unless you rehearse the information.
00:16
C is thought to be unlimited.
00:19
There's always room for more information.
00:21
D can handle about a half a dozen items for each of the tasks you are working on at any time.
00:26
And e can handle about half a dozen items total.
00:29
All right, so let me fix my copying mistake.
00:34
I put half an hour instead of half a minute, which is crucial.
00:40
Okay, so when we think of short -term and working memory, i think the biggest giveaway is the fact that it is short.
00:48
So right off the bat, we can eliminate two days because two days is way too long for short -term memory.
00:55
That's to say you could remember the name of a stranger you met, off the street two days ago whom you had little encounter with.
01:04
That might be a little too vague, but you get what i'm saying...
