What did the temporal integration experiment reveal about recalling a missing dot?
What did the temporal integration experiment reveal about recalling a missing dot?
- Recalling the missing dot was equally accurate regardless of the time gap between frames.
- Recalling the missing dot was more accurate when the frames were shown further apart in time.
- Recalling the missing dot was not affected by the timing of the frames.
- Recalling the missing dot was more accurate when the frames were shown closer in time. (correct)

Study Notes
Working Memory
- The capacity of working memory is limited, according to the Baddeley Model.
- The phonological loop is the component of working memory responsible for storing verbal content.
- The central executive is responsible for regulating cognitive processes and intervening when they go astray, according to the Baddeley Model.
Types of Memory
- Episodic memory stores events from our own personal past.
- Primacy and recency effects refer to people's tendency to recall items from the end and beginning of a list better than those in the middle.
- Implicit memory involves unconsciously remembering information through automatic processing.
- Short-term memory temporarily holds information for immediate use.
Processing and Memory
- Explicit processing is involved in consciously recollecting previous facts at a particular time and place.
- The central executive system regulates cognitive processes and intervenes when they go astray.
Sensory Memory
- The function of sensory memory is to record information from the senses before it moves to long-term storage.
- The main characteristic of iconic memory is that it has a very short duration, typically less than a second.
- Information in short-term memory is conscious and subject to decay.
Memory Stages
- The three stages of memory are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
Sperling's Study
- The whole reporting condition in Sperling's study involves presenting participants with a brief visual array and asking them to recall all the items in the array.
Sensory Modalities
- The olfactory system is related to the sensory modality of smell.
Characteristics of Memory
- The main characteristic of short-term memory is that it has limited capacity and information is easily lost.
- The main characteristic of sensory memory is that it is a brief and initial storage of information from the senses.
