A cognitive psychologist investigated short-term memory by presenting participants with unique four-digit pin codes (e.g., 4916, 7305). Immediately after a PIN was shown, participants had to read aloud a series of random words printed in various colors, naming only the ink color of each word (a Stroop task) for a designated retention interval (ranging from 3 to 27 seconds) to block mental repetition. Participants were then required to write down the PIN.
