Evidence for similar principles in episodic and semantic memory: the presidential serial position function.
When people recall a list of items that they have just experienced (an episodic memory task), the resulting serial position function looks strikingly similar to that observed when people are asked to recall the presidents of the United States (a semantic memory task). Despite the similarity in appearance, there is disagreement about whether the two functions arise from the same processes. A loc...
متن کاملFurther evidence that similar principles govern recall from episodic and semantic memory: the Canadian prime ministerial serial position function.
The serial position function, with its characteristic primacy and recency effects, is one of the most ubiquitous findings in episodic memory tasks. In contrast, there are only two demonstrations of such functions in tasks thought to tap semantic memory. Here, we provide a third demonstration, showing that free recall of the prime ministers of Canada also results in a serial position function. S...
متن کاملEpisodic versus Semantic Memory: An Exploration of Models of Memory Decay in the Serial Attention Paradigm
We investigate the implications of an episodic versus semantic memory representation in a model of serial task switching. Altmann and Gray (2002; 2004) have developed a model in which the rate of memory activation, decay, and interference are tightly coupled in an explanation of learning, forgetting, and performance. A central assumption of their model is the use of an episodic memory trace for...
متن کاملA remember-know analysis of the semantic serial position function.
Did the serial position functions observed in certain semantic memory tasks (e.g., remembering the order of books or films) arise because they really tapped episodic memory? To address this issue, participants were asked to make "remember-know" judgments as they reconstructed the release order of the 7 Harry Potter books and 2 sets of movies. For both classes of stimuli, the "remember" and "kno...
متن کاملthe search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
