The goal of this discussion forum is to deepen understanding of how working memory operates. For the initial post, watch theModels of Memory 1 Atkins+ Shiffrons Multi Store. Then complete the following experiments:

• Digit Span
• Serial Position Effect

Keep in mind that each experiment illustrates a procedure or task that is used by scientists to understand how working (short-term) memory functions. Consider what performance on the selected task tells about working memory and its strengths and weaknesses. Also, consider the extent to which the results of the selected experiment apply to real-life experiences and settings. Support points with evidence from at least one peer-reviewed research article.
