Question

Jessica is trying to remember all 26 definitions in her chemistry booklet 2 minutes before the exam. She seems to think that she can just store all 26 of these definitions in her short-term memory. If she understood the limits of memory, she would realize that her short-term memory is able to retain _____ of the definitions.

Answer 1

small amounts

Step-by-step explanation:

• Short -term memorizing has the capacity of holding small amounts of information (not manipulating) for a short period while in the state of readily availability.

Jessica is trying to remember all 26 of the definitions 2mins before her exam, which is not in a readily available state and not enough time for her short term memory to hold those information's before her exam.

Hence she can only be able to retain small amounts of definitions.
