Answer 3

STUDIED ICONIC MEMORY

• Used a tachistoscope (flashes visual stimuli onto a screen for a brief period of time).
• Displayed 12 symbols on a grid for 1/20th of a second.
• Participants would recall around 4.
• He then would use specific tones for specific parts of a gird (Eg. High tone, top row).
• Would see how many of the four symbols in the row they could remember.
• Remembered about three.

Concluded iconic memory has an unlimited capacity and a very brief (0.3-0.4 seconds) duration.
