What the slopes might tell us
-
I am surprised how many of the memory records
fall so close to the general trend lines
This could be telling us something fundamental about the limits of absorbing
and memorising,
or it might simply be a consequence of all top performers using a similar
memory technique.
-
In Region A, the slope is approximately 3:1
suggesting that the bit rate falls as the cube root of the duration, or the
amount that can be memorised falls as the square root of duration
-
In Region B, the slope is approaching 1:1, in
which case the amount that can be memorised would be independent of duration.
Over this range, there seems to be a limit of about 60 bits. Is this the
short term buffer size? ( see the short
duration results)
