Scaling the episodic familiarities of pictures and words

Article Abstract:

Subjects examined mixed lists of pictures and words with up to a three times occurrence rate to explore the hypothesis that memory was founded on a unidimensional familiarity signal. A forced-choice frequency discrimination test including all pairs conditions and a numerical frequency judgment test on individual items were used. The forced-choice and numerical judgment data suggest that frequency and recognition judgments have the same basis but picture familiarity is lower than word familiarity though it increases faster with repetition.

In sight, out of mind: when object representations fail

Article Abstract:

Immediate memory for object identity is generally poor and becomes poorer in the absence of verbal labelling. However, memory for the spatial configuration of objects remains excellent and unaffected by the inaccessibility to verbal labelling, suggesting a fundamental difference between the two memory representations. Inability to notice major changes while processing natural scenes and events indicates the inability to maintain visual representations of object properties across views.

Implicit and explicit memory for haptically experienced two-dimensional patterns

Article Abstract:

Elaborative pattern processing does not affect haptic identification, but meaningful encoding of two-dimensional patterns improves haptic episodic recognition. Research results imply that the organization of object information is basically similar in memory independent of the input modality which facilitates pattern perception, suggesting similarities in object information organization in the haptic and visual modalities.
