Document Summary

Task: memory search (scanning, asked if the probe was part of the memory set. How to model: assume: time between a stimulus and a response is occupied by a series of. Compare the probe item to the items in memory. Push the yes or no button: the information flows from 1 stage to the other. Three hypotheses regarding search in sts: parallel. Search occurs in parallel, meaning all at once. Maybe when the probe item comes up, our system compares the probe item against all given numbers at the same time. If you find a match, you stop looking: serial exhaustive. Always try to match probe with all the numbers from the set. Support: serial exhaustive search in sts is what we use. Nature of representations being compared: same task (memory probe task, clear vs. degraded probe digit. Memory comparison stage: compare 1 ~38ms, compare 2 ~38ms, compare 3 ~38ms, compare n ~38ms.
