1. Suppose that in a partial report experiment like the one in this demonstration you are shown a 4 x 4 matrix of letters and are cued to report the letters from the first row. Assuming you recalled three of the four letters in the cued row, how many of the letters in the matrix were available in your sensory memory at the offset of the letter matrix?

Solution

Sensory memory fades very fast , it last only for less than one second.

So it will be available to the person only when he is seeing the matrix , Once it is gone there will be no letter in the sensory memory of the person
