The number of participants involved
tagsMurdock's serial position curve study - 8. Multiple Choice
A weakness of Murdock's serial position curve study was that:

The story was unusual so didn't reflect everyday memory processes
The study was complete as field research
tagsBartlett's War of the Ghosts study - 11. Multiple Choice
Reconstructive memory suggests that:
Memories are consistent over time
Memories are always accurate
Memories are acoustically encoded
Memory is an active/changing process
