if you want my input william, I believe it would be indefinite, and one piece of information.
maintenance rehearsal = repeat it over and over, so it's indefinite.
when you think about something your STM is 'full' with that information, so I believe it would hav a capacity of one
You are right.
however i would disagree on ONE thing you said.
about the capacity of one.
since STM has a capacity of 5-9 items
even when you are repeating something over and over.... its not "full" by that item.
e.g ... you may try to remember the numbers 524 326 23
and you may be repeating it over and over
then you may type it on the phone.
when typing ... you extract "how to" or procedural memories .. to be manipulated in working memory
since working memory = STM
I believe that .. even if its unconscious ... its not limited to the ONE item that you are repeating.
however .. since its involved with STM .. maintenance rehearsal would have a capacity of 5-9 items
get my drift?
idk if im right though.
ur probably correct Spreadburry
thats just my take on things
