  2. Serial memory processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_memory_processing

    Serial memory processing is the act of attending to and processing one item at a time. This is usually contrasted against parallel memory processing, which is the act of attending to and processing all items simultaneously. In short-term memory tasks, participants are given a set of items (e.g. letters, digits) one at a time and then, after ...

  3. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    Serial-order also helps us remember the order of events in our lives, our autobiographical memories. Our memory of our past appears to exist on a continuum on which more recent events are more easily remembered in order. [21] Serial recall in long-term memory (LTM) differs from serial recall in short-term memory (STM). To store a sequence in ...

  4. Serial-position effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial-position_effect

    Serial-position effect. Serial-position effect is the tendency of a person to recall the first and last items in a series best, and the middle items worst. [ 1] The term was coined by Hermann Ebbinghaus through studies he performed on himself, and refers to the finding that recall accuracy varies as a function of an item's position within a ...

    Early selection models of attention. The early selection model of attention, proposed by Broadbent, [ 1] posits that stimuli are filtered, or selected to be attended to, at an early stage during processing. A filter can be regarded as the selector of relevant information based on basic features, such as color, pitch, or direction of stimuli.

  6. Recall test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_test

    Recall test. In cognitive psychology, a recall test is a test of memory of mind in which participants are presented with stimuli and then, after a delay, are asked to remember as many of the stimuli as possible. [ 1]: 123 Memory performance can be indicated by measuring the percentage of stimuli the participant was able to recall.

  7. Feature integration theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_integration_theory

    Feature integration theory is a theory of attention developed in 1980 by Anne Treisman and Garry Gelade that suggests that when perceiving a stimulus, features are "registered early, automatically, and in parallel, while objects are identified separately" and at a later stage in processing. The theory has been one of the most influential ...

  8. Free recall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recall

    Free recall is a common task in the psychological study of memory. In this task, participants study a list of items on each trial, and then are prompted to recall the items in any order. [1] Items are usually presented one at a time for a short duration, and can be any of a number of nameable materials, although traditionally, words from a ...

  9. Modality effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modality_effect

    Modality can refer to a number of characteristics of the presented study material. However, this term is usually used to describe the improved recall of the final items of a list when that list is presented verbally in comparison with a visual representation. The effect is seen in free recall (recall of list items in any given order), serial ...
