Exam 2: Sensory Persistence and Information Persistence

Stimulus persistence has been studied for auditory stimuli. Efron (1970b) found that no matter how long the actual tone lasted, participants perceived the tone as at least ________ ms in duration.

The likely neural substrate of visual stimulus persistence is ________.

In the classic work by George Sperling (1960), subjects in the "partial report paradigm" with delays less than 500 ms recalled ________ compared to those in the "whole report paradigm."

According to Kojima et al.'s (2014) study, "Patient X" ________

What is a real-world example of a situation where decisions must be made based on visual information that appears only briefly?

In a direct challenge to Sperling's model, Irwin and Yeomans (1986) varied the duration of the stimulus display in a partial-report paradigm experiment. They found a large effect of cue delay and ________.

In the classic work by George Sperling (1960), subjects in the "partial report paradigm" with delays larger than 500 ms recalled ________ compared to those in the "whole report paradigm."

What are stimulus persistence and information persistence?

The "dorsal stream" is ________.

Crowder and Morton (1969) proposed the ________ to account for the suffix effect and the modality effect.

Information persistence cannot be considered sensory memory because it is ________.

In macaque monkeys, the anterior superior temporal sulcus (STS), which lies along the ventral stream, is active during iconic memory tasks. This is not surprising because the STS ________.

Sensory register is ________.

The classical approach to study stimulus persistence is ________.

Neath et al. (1993) demonstrated that the suffix effect could be created or eliminated with identical suffix stimuli depending on what information about the suffix the listener was told in advance. This observation is a problem for the idea of echoic memory as a pre-categorical store, because ________.

What were George Sperling's experiments with iconic memory (1960)?

The likely neural substrate of visual information persistence is ________.

Taken together, the results of Di Lollo (1980) and Irwin and Yeomans (1986) suggest that stimulus persistence and information persistence are ________.

Conrad and Hull (1968) examined recall accuracy as a function of serial position. They found what they called a ________: when participants read the items out loud during the trial they were better at remembering the last two items on the list than they were when they did not read the items out loud.

The results from various studies suggest that visual stimulus persistence is very brief and is estimated to last about ________ ms in ideal conditions.
