Abstract

Studied the performance of 8 Ss on S. Sternberg's context-recall task. The search rate through short-term memory was a function of the sensory modality: if the memory set and test item were presented in the same mode (auditory-auditory or visual-visual), search rates were 48 msec. faster than for opposite-mode presentations. Data indicate that context recall involves a serial self-terminating search process. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
