enough in regards to the
"short term memory." He
argued that A&S made it a
unitary system, where all
of the sensory memory
that was encoded was
stored in a single place in
the memory system, and
changed it to a working
memory system where the
Central Executive allocates
sensory memory to either
the phonological loop or
the visit-spatial sketchpad
based on the type of

basic ask partic- ipants to recite the letters that they saw based on 2
summary of conditions. The Whole Report condition occurred when the subject was
the Sperling to report as many of the letters as they could out of the entire 12
Whole-Partial letters that were flashed before them. The partial report condition
Re- port test? occurred when an auditory signal was played to tell the participants a
particular row that they were to attempt to recall. As people became
accustomed to the auditory signal, they got a higher proportion of
letters correct; however, as the auditory signal had more time in
between the letters flashing, decay caused many people to forget the
letters and it hurt performance
8. What is masking? A part of the partial report technique in Sperlings experiment where
an auditory beep went ott to tell people which row to look at. It
added another layer to the process by "masking" the first stimulus
with a second stimulus (the beep)
