PNB 2XA3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Sensory Memory, Sensory System
Document Summary
Arrows (we can code information in parallel)- no initial constraints; processed bottom up (sperling, 1960) In class e. g. blasted visual system with twelve letters on avg. can remember 4. Partial report: report just the row asked of you during the procedure. Guessing behaviour to figure out what to pay attention to has something to do with selective encoding thus: Limits in retreival may have something to do with how much info you can chuck and then report to the experiment. If blasted with 12 letters then they go blank then you must figure out what to do with this information before it decays. 25 dots then 24 say which one is missing by a 5 by 5 matrix. First 12 dots you show for a 100ths of a second variable duration. Y axis (percent error), x (duration of the first portion)
