How could we test the idea that the last few
items are in STS?
How can we test that the primacy effect
represents LTS?

H.M.
- Epileptic
- Temporal Lobes / Hippocampus
- STM ---> LTM disrupted
K.F.
- Damage to Left Cerebral Cortex
- LTM Normal
- STM capacity severely limited

More recent research challenges the strict
coding distinction

Sensory memory or sensory register
Visual, auditory, touch, taste, smell
Relatively raw, unprocessed form
23
Stimuli change
Maintain for selection and further
processing
Integrate fragments of a stimuli into a single
unitary perception
