Crowder(1993) found SR only retains information in the iconic store for a few milliseconds, but for two or three seconds in the echoic store. This supports idea of sensory information being coded into different sensory stores. 
Capacity: 
Sterling(1960) flashed 3x4 grid of letters onto screen for one-twentieth of a second, and asked participants to recall letters of one row. As information faded very quickly, he sounded different tones to indicate which row had to be recalled. Recall of letters in indicated row was high, suggesting all information was originally there. Indicating capacity of SR is large. 
Duration: 
Walsh & Thompson(1978) found iconic sensory store has an average duration of 500 milliseconds, which decreases as individuals get older. This suggests duration of sensory memories is limited and dependant on age.

The sensory register is your ultra-short-term memory that takes in sensory information through your five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch) and holds it for no more than a few seconds.]]> 2017-03-03 12:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emilycharlotteparker/Sr/wish/157592065 emilycharlotteparker https://padlet.com/emilycharlotteparker/Sr/wish/157592659 Information is stored in raw, unprocessed form, using separate sensory stores for different sensory inputs: the echoic for auditory information, the iconic store for visual information, the haptic store for tactile information, the gustatory store for taste information and the olfactory store for smell. Information that is paid attention to passes onto the STM, while the remainder fades quickly through trace decay and leaves no lasting impression.

EVALUATION-
After images of visual events provide good evidence of sensory memories. The light trail produced by a moving lighted stick was noted
in 1749. Such phenomena led to early experiments into the SR in the 1960s.

Sensory memory stores may consist of several sub stores, for example, visible persistence and informational persistence within the iconic memory store.]]> 2017-03-03 13:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/emilycharlotteparker/Sr/wish/157592659 emilycharlotteparker https://padlet.com/emilycharlotteparker/Sr/wish/157593700 The capacity of each sensory memory store is very large, with the information contained being in unprocessed, highly detailed and ever-changing format.

EVALUATION-
Calculating the capacity of sensory memory stores often involves experiments where participants have to evaluate cues that suggest a change in random wave patterns. However, these only provide estimates of capacity and are highly artificial in nature and thus lacking in a mundane realism.
Although evidence exists that the iconic store can hold about fifteen to twenty images, the capacity of other sensory memory stores isn't well studied, as they last so briefly and generally only at a pre-conscious level.

The actual duration of each store is not constant and different types of information within each store decay at different rates. Different sensory stores appear to have different capacities and there is some evidence that duration decreases with age. 

EVALUATION- 
The brief duration of sensory memories is seen as due to their physical traces fading quickly. This suggests a biological explanation for the duration of information within the SR.
