The original task‚ developed by Michael Corsi in 1972‚ consists of nine identical blocks on a board. Because of technological developments‚ it now has various digital versions. Used by clinical neuropsychologists‚ and cognitive and developmental psychologists‚ the Corsi task is applicable with investigations of nonverbal short-term memory‚ gender differences

(Kalat‚ pg. 241) For example‚ in recalling a ten-digit telephone number‚ a person could chunk the digits into three groups: first‚ the area code (such as 215)‚ then a three-digit chunk (123) and lastly a four-digit chunk (4567). This method of remembering telephone numbers is far more effective than attempting to remember a string of 10 digits; this is because we are

Chucking breaks long strings of information such as letters or numbers into chunks. It has been found that breaking information into chunks or units can get remembered easier than long piece of information.

The control group used chunking as their memory strategy for memorizing a list of 10 telephone numbers. In contrast‚ the experimental group has used no specific strategy to memorize the list of numbers that was given to them. Each group was given 15 minutes to memorize their list of 10 telephone numbers and they had 5 minutes

students recalled stimuli in the same order that was presented to them. It is hypothesized that short term memory is a limited capacity system that is influenced by verbal processes. Furthermore‚ participants would be able to recall items‚ 7±2 where number recall be more successful. From the results‚ this study indicates that that there is a limit to short-term memory and that verbal processes partially influence verbal processes.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the role of organization in learning of meaningful words. It was like a memory test‚ through which one could conclude how organization helps in strengthening memory.
