Q: Moshe's mother sent him to buy 20 items. He will remember:This week's question, which I feel will get more guesses than most, is up to the left.
A: Responsible for the first items on the list is the "primacy" effect, and for the last items, the "recency" effect. The short-term memory holds on average between 5 and 9 items (George Miller and others), but these can be 5-9 large chunks/strings of information through a process called "chunking".

Ezz..I am VERY worried about the state of the economy and what it will mean in the Orthodox Community.
ReplyDeleteI started two groups to help try and stimulate biz between orthodox jews: The Frum Network, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Frumnetwork/ on Yahoo and http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/42561/2626F017E6FC on LinkedIn
Someone mentioned this idea...I'd like to make it happen...
A subscriber sent me the idea for a Frum Network meeting in New York this summer.
The meeting would include Frum Network members on this Yahoo group AND
the LinkedIn Frum Network

I like the idea. It can be a GREAT opportunity for Networking and
developing business relationships. It would take a LOT of volunteer
time and effort to pull it off.
If you are interested in such an idea, please post that you would find
such an event beneficial AND give some ideas as to what form the event
should take. I can see everything from a Yankees/Mets Baseball game to
a barbeque to a hotel ballroom with company tables.
Thoughts?
