Encoding and Use of Detail Information in Picture Recognition.

Loftus, Geoffrey R.; Kallman, Howard J.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v5 n3 p197-211 May 1979

Subjects who named details in pictures performed better on subsequent recognition tests than their counterparts. Data support a model which assumes: (1) a constant probability of encoding a detail and (2) a detail is named either if it was encoded at study or with some bias probability. (Author/CP)
