Capacity Increase and Chunking in the Development of Short-Term Memory.
Burtis, P. J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v34 n3 p387-413 Dec 1982
The possibility of an age-related increase in the capacity of the short-term store was examined in two experiments, and an "M-operator" model was proposed to account for the data. Together, the two experiments show that an important part of short-term memory development can be explained as growth in short-term store capacity. (Author/MP)
