Short Term Retention of Temporal Sequence, Spatial Location, and Item Magnitude Information
Abstract
Many models have been proposed to account for short term recall of temporally coded stimuli and associated decay and interference over short retention intervals, particularly concerning the role of phonetic coding in the retention of temporal information. Situations outside the laboratory setting generally involve both temporal and spatial information, but models pertaining to short term retention of spatial information, but models pertaining to short term retention of spatial information are less common. A third dimension concerning item information (verbal labels or visual characteristics such as shape or size which make objects discernable) has also been investigated in the laboratory setting, generally in a context which attempts to differentiate coding patterns between item and order information.
