In theorizing about Sternberg's memory scanning task, Snodgrass (1985) considered and graphed three possible patterns of data associated with three possible strategies.Snodgrass proposed that if a _____________ search was made participants would take longer to respond when there were more items in the memory set.Group of answer choicesParallelSelf-terminatingExhaustiveSerial

In the Brown-Peterson paradigm, participants had to count backwards by three in order to ________.Group of answer choicesa. trick participants into thinking about numbers instead of lettersb. prevent rehearsalc. increase the strain on the capacity of short-term memoryd. measure the capacity of short-term memory

The fact that participants can successfully recall letters or numbers during the partial report procedure challenges Sperling's assertion that iconic memory isGroup of answer choicesa. capable of holding all sensory infob. pre-categoricalc. modality-specificd. attention-dependent
