{ "pk": 31734, "title": "On the Long-Term Retention of Studied and Understudied U.S. Coins", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The present study addresses the issue of whether visual\ninformation is retained well or not, using the Nickerson and Adams (1979) familiar task of recalling a U.S. penny. Although Nickerson and Adams ' findings suggested poor retention of visual detail, earlier recognition memory studies suggested very good\nretention. A n unfamiliar liberty dime was used to\nassess the durability of a one-minute study period for an\nunfamiliar coin. Recall |}erformance on the unfamiliar\ndime was better than recall performance on the familiar\npenny even when the test on the dime was delayed for\none week. The order in which recall of the penny or\ndime occurred significantly affected performance with\nthe prior unaided recall of the penny enhancing the\nsubsequent recall of the studied dime. These findings\ndocument the importance of intentional study on\nmemory for details of a common object and suggest that with intentional study good retention can be obtained for visual details of such objects.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Submitted Presentations", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6jk6p81n", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "William", "middle_name": "R.", "last_name": "Marmie", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Colorado", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Gregory", "middle_name": "R.", "last_name": "Rully", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Colorado", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Alice", "middle_name": "F.", "last_name": "Healy", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Colorado", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1993-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31734/galley/22802/download/" } ] }
