People were better at recalling one row rather than the whole grid. This shows that information decays in this store very quickly
Evaluation:
- Provides evidence for duration and capacity
Bahrick et al 1975
Evidence for duration of long term memory: asked people to recall the names of people from their high school yearbooks.
Those who graduated less than 15 years before were 90% accurate in remembering their names.
This number decreased to 80% after 48 years.
Evaluation:
- Authentic and realistic tasks that can be applied to real life situations people might face
- Lacks population validity (392 Americans)
