====Brown–Peterson====
In the ''[[Brown–Peterson cohomology]] experiment'', participants are briefly presented with a [[trigram]] and in one particular version of the experiment, they are then given a distractor task, asking them to identify whether a sequence of words is in fact words, or non-words (due to being misspelled, etc.). After the distractor task, they are asked to recall the trigram from before the distractor task. In theory, the longer the distractor task, the harder it will be for participants to correctly recall the trigram. This experiment focuses on human [[short-term memory]].<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Nairne J, Whiteman H, Kelley M |title=Short-term forgetting of order under conditions of reduced interference |journal=Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology A |year=1999 |volume=52 |pages=241–251 |doi=10.1080/713755806 |s2cid=15713857 |url=http://www1.psych.purdue.edu/~nairne/pdfs/32.pdf |access-date=2018-01-09 |archive-date=2022-07-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220730173204/http://www1.psych.purdue.edu/~nairne/pdfs/32.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
