Abstract
The memory span define the a list of longest item, where a person immediately correctly
repeat back the order when the presentation is completed 50% of all trail. In this case the item
has been shown by words, letter and number. The aim of this study to see at what length the
error length of the participant is very few. The memory span is able to distinguish and
distribute the attention of a series of stimuli. Moreover it concentrate and the attention of
memory process at some starting point. It also noticeable that the range of the span of
memory distinguished from the span of memory. In this study thee participants has been
selected from full-time and undergraduate psychology student. There are 129 Murdoch on-
campus data observation has been conducted. It is also noticeable that the demographic data
has not been collected. The study has been conducted 30 trails and each of stimulus carry 10
trails. The dependent variable of this study is length of the last list and the independent
variable of this study are digit, letter or words. In this study the Bonferroni test has been
conducted among three dependent variables.

MEMORY SPAN

Introduction
The memory span define the a list of longest item, where a person immediately
correctly repeat back the order when the presentation is completed 50% of all trail. In this
case the item has been shown by words, letter and number (Baddeley & Lieberman, 2017).
The term memory spam is applied in psychology and neuroscience. It is also called short term
memory. It is a material and the component of the cognitive test ability called WAIS (Lukács
et al., 2016). The memory span which is backward gives more challenges of variation it also
takes the recalling item with reverse order. There are many theories of cognition which
propose that there is a working memory with the short term period of time and this can be
hold the limited number of information for short period (Bayliss, Bogdanovs, & Jarrold,
2015).. The experiment of memory span is the measurement of the capacity of working
memory. This is an experiment where the participant has been given some kind of list of item
and this is specify and recall the list.
The aim of this study to see at what length the error length of the participant is very
few. Thus this called the list of memory span for a person. The memory span with individual
and large number of memory span has been shown the better and different stimuli. Thus this
the advantage of wide and variety of cognitive. It has been applicable in the reading skills,
intelligence tests, problem solving, standardized tests and a variety of cognitive tasks (Geers,
Pisoni & Brenner, 2013). In short term memory the very exactable memory is the large based
experiments of memory span. It also important that there are seven item has been seen in the
memory span. This can be suggest a simple system of storage, which has been held
approximately by the seven item. In general the capacity of the short term memory has been
controlled by the process of verbal.
