Étude de différents modes d'indexation dans la mémoire verbale
Scania de Schonen · L’Année psychologique · 1968
Two attempts are reported to give evidence for indexing of features in long term memory. During an incidental learning task subjects were presented with words ; one task emphasized the paradigmatic features of the words, while the other task emphasized the phonic features of the words presented. Two kinds of recognition test were given two hours later. The results show that the features emphasized during incidental learning are utilized in recall and that these features are organized. These results are considered as supporting the hypothesis that indexing is an organized process resulting from coding of the perceived features of the events.
