# Recency Measures Evidence: Summary

You have now completed the module on evidence relating to recency measures. The most important ideas about this evidence are:

- Glanzer & Cunitz (1966) used recency measures to show that STM has a capacity of around 4 words.
- Their use of interference tasks demonstrated that recency measures are definitely a result of STM capacity
