A Comparison of Item and Position Probes in Short-Term Memory

Detterman, Douglas K.

American Journal of Psychology, 90, 1, 45-53, Mar 77

The tasks with item and position probes seem similar. Given an item probe, a subject must recall its position in the spatial array; given a position probe, the item in that position in the array. Analysis of correct responses and latencies showed that item and position probes yielded different results. (Editor/RK)
