In modern society people often face the problem of information remembering. This stimulates us to use different types of our memory, especially short term memory the duration of which is, thus, of great importance. This fact makes the topicality of our research and causes our goal: to find out the features of short term remembering.
Memory is considered to be a process of encoding, storage and retrieval of different kinds of information. It is well-known that our memory can be considered as having three types: sensory, short term and long term memory.
In sensory memory information is being held for less than a second after an item is perceived. Short term memory (or working memory) gives an opportunity to recall information for a period up to a minute without repeating. The storage in these two types of memory is strictly limited in its duration in contrast to long term memory which can store larger quality of information which is supposed to be unlimited. 
In everyday life short term memory is considered to be the most common. That is why its lasting has always been an object of different studies such as the Brown-Peterson technique which was provided to investigate the durability of working memory in terms of the multistore model. The experiment was held at a special laboratory. 24 students involved in the assay were asked to recall meaningless-three-consonants syllables called trigrams, e. g. NDF, RAN, ITK etc. It was necessary to prevent repeating so testees were told to count in 3 or 4 from a specific accidental number until the light signal appeared. Then they had to recall trigrams after a time span of 3–18 sec. The test showed that the amount of trigrams recalled depended on the length of the time interval. The students recalled 80% of information after 3 sec. but they could not recall more than 10% of trigrams after 18 sec. delay. Such results prove once more that information can be recovered from short term memory only during a short period of time (not more than a minute) and only if this information is still important. 
Thus, short term memory is strictly limited in its duration in case of rehearsal prevented and any delay causes the lost of information from short term memory. We can also state that short term memory differs greatly from long term one in its duration. Thus, we can state the existence of multistore model of human memory.
