Sensory Memory Iconic Memory Echoic Memory

Iconic Memory What is the evidence? Subjective experience Objective measurements Judge duration of a light Interference Sperling’s (1960) work capacity decay (forgetting)

Iconic Memory What is the evidence? Subjective experience – flash demo

Iconic Memory What is the evidence? Objective measurements Judge duration of a light Interference Sperling’s (1960) work capacity decay (forgetting)

Objective measurements judge duration of a light Simple task: When light comes on, press button When the light goes off, press button

time milliseconds (ms) 0 Light ON

time milliseconds (ms) Button pressed Light ON

time milliseconds (ms) Button pressed Light ON Light OFF

time milliseconds (ms) Button pressed Light ON Light OFF Button pressed

time milliseconds (ms) Button pressed Light ON Light OFF Button pressed

Objective measurements judge duration of a light participant thinks light is ON longer than it actually is and a measurement can be obtained

Demo 1 Interference basic effect is that performance decreases Proactive interference (&, letter) interference comes before the stimulus in this paradigm called a forward mask Retroactive interference (letter, &) interference comes after the stimulus in this paradigm called a backward mask

How does the interference actually work? Integration F the stimulus and the interference become enmeshed (integrated) - could occur w/ proactive or retroactive interference &

How does the interference actually work? Integration F the stimulus and the interference become enmeshed (integrated) - could occur w/ proactive or retroactive interference Interruption processing of stimulus gets stopped when processing of interfering material begins - could occur for retroactive interference (but not proactive interference) &

Demo 2 -- Sperling’s (1960) work Present stimulus array (matrix of letters) briefly (e.g., 50 ms)

Sperling’s (1960) work Present stimulus array (matrix of letters) briefly (e.g., 50 ms) Task Report all of the letters—called whole report participants do okay but not very good

Sperling’s (1960) work Present stimulus array (matrix of letters) briefly Task Report all of the letters—called whole report participants not very good Report one row of the letters—called partial report cued by a tone (high, middle, low) then estimate number of letters that can be retrieved

Sperling’s (1960) work Span of apprehension Number of items that could be retrieved Whole report – 4.5 letters

Sperling’s (1960) work Span of apprehension Number of items that could be retrieved Whole report – 4.5 letters Partial report – 3.03 x 3 rows = 9.1 letters

Sperling’s (1960) work Span of apprehension Whole report – 4.5 letters Partial report – 9.1 letters Higher estimate for partial report than whole report Why?

Sperling’s (1960) work Span of apprehension Whole report – 4.5 letters Partial report – 9.1 letters Higher estimate for partial report than whole report Why? Fast Forgetting (decay of icon)?

Sperling’s (1960) work Partial report delay report of row (w/ delayed cue) track performance as a function of delay (retention interval)

F L N G D S V K R M E C Partial report with different delays for the tones

Probability of Report as Function of Time P(r) Time (s) 0 1

Probability of Report as Function of Time P(r) Time (s) items 4.5 items

Probability of Report as Function of Time P(r) Time (s) items 4.5 items (same as measure from whole report)

Conclusion: Image or icon decays very quickly

Different partial report procedure (Averbach & Coriell, 1961) Use a visual marker as a cue to report a single letter from a matrix

Performance with bar cue ( ) much better than that with the circle cue ( ). Why?

Performance with bar cue ( ) much better than that with the circle cue ( ). Why? Circle cue acted as a backward mask —metacontrast mask (which produced a metacontrast effect). Evidence for integration vs. interruption ideas?
