The Effect of 2 Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of intervention on short-term memory of selected participants. There were 38 participants who completed the study: 29 female students, and 9 male students. The primary experimenter (PE ') used 20 stimulus words for the study. To test the interference effect, 5 articles/reading materials were prepared for the experimental group. The participants were tasked to recall as many words as they can from the list of 20 stimulus words until they are signaled to stop. It was predicted that intervention does have an effect on the ability to recall words but results indicated that the number of words recalled were not significantly different between reading five articles after the stimulus was presented and recalling without any interference.
The Effect of 3 The Effect of Intervention on Short-Term Memory Recall of Words Almost everyone understands memory as a necessity for learning to occur and that personal memories define each individual (Dehn, 2010). In this experiment, the use of a person’s memory was utilized. By definition, memory is [a] unique psychological construct and cognitive function in that almost everyone is interested in or concerned about his or her memory at some point in their lives (Dehn, 2010). Short-term memory is limited in capacity and duration, while long-term memory has an immense capacity, and that memory can last a
