A cognitive psychologist investigated the duration of short-term memory using a Peterson and Peterson distractor task. Participants were presented with a consonant trigram and asked to recall it after a retention interval. The duration of successful recall (in seconds) before forgetting occurred was recorded for a sample of 80 participants. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
| Duration of successful recall (seconds) | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 0 – 4 | 14 |
| 5 – 9 | 32 |
| 10 – 14 | 24 |
| 15 – 19 | 10 |
