# A Recency Experiment

This is a recency experiment. When you click the 'show words' button on the right, a series of words will appear in the box. When the list has finished, type as many of the words as you can recall in the area to the right. You can type them in any order, but you must leave a space or hit return after each word. When you have recalled as many words as you can, click the 'finished' button.

This experiment shows that STM has a capacity of 3 to 5 words
