| Summary | An extensive body of research has been done to investigate the search processes in short-term memory. Sternberg discovered that we use a serial, exhaustive search process: while searching specific information in short-term memory, we check all (exhaustive) information units present one after another (serial), whether the information we are looking for is present or not. | |||
