Encoding and Retrieval in Visual Memory Tasks

Frost, Nancy

Journal of Experimental Psychology, 95, 2, 317-26, Oct 72

It was concluded that pictures are encoded differently depending on task expectation. Parallel access of visual and semantic memory codes occurs; but when recognition is expected, a visual cue provides faster access, and when expecting recall, verbal access is more efficient. (Author)
