Research indicates an average of 7 +/- 2, though it can be increased by chunking - where the size of the units of information in storage is increased by giving them a collective meaning i.e \seqsplit{BBC/SOS/ABC/FBI} into 4 chunks will increase capacity & The amount of time information remains within the STM without being lost is limited to a maximum of about 30 seconds.

Acoustically similar words were recalled the worst at 10\%. Recall of other lists was between 60 to 80\%. This suggests there can be acoustic confusion which suggests STM is coded on an acoustic basis. & Participants were presented with increasingly long lists of numbers or letter followed by recall. When participants fail on 50\% of the tasks, they were judged to have reached capacity. Jacobs found capacity for numbers was 9 items and letters was 7. This shows that capacity is limited, and that numbers are easier to recall perhaps because there are only 9. & Read nonsense triagrams to participants, then got them to count backwards in 3's for varying periods of time to prevent rehearsal.

Research indicates that there are several different types of LTM, and the LTMs are not of equal strength. Strong LTMs can be retrieved easily, but weaker LTMs may require more prompting. LTMs are not passive (unchanging) - over time they may change or merge with other LTMs. This is why memories aren't necessarily constant or accurate.
