It is established that semantic encoding and long processing time facilitated recognition performance for low- but not for high-compatibility shapes, and several theoretical contributions to the domain-of-processing framework follow.
Abstract
An experiment concerning recognition memory for shapes investigated the consequences of manipulating the component operations of domain of processing, that is, encoding strategy, processing time, and stimulus compatibility. It is established that semantic encoding and long processing time facilitated recognition performance for low-, but not for high-, compatibility shapes. A visual task interfered with recognition memory for low-compatibility shapes. Several theoretical contributions to the domain-of-processing framework, which follow from the findings of this experiment, are presented and discussed.

Spatial ability and sensory interaction: Analog and propositional representation

TL;DR: The theory that the visual-imaginal-analog and the auditory-verbal-propositional representational systems are implicated in spatial ability was substantiated and the extent to which the cortex can inhibit or attenuate the interaction or integration between these dual-symbol systems is associated with complicated spatial task performance.

Cognitive complexity and cerebral sensory interaction

TL;DR: The results substantiated the theory that the visual-imaginal and the auditory-verbal representational systems are implicated in cognitive complexity and confirmed the extent to which the cortex can inhibit or attenuate the interaction between these dual symbol systems is associated with intricate cognitive processing.

Levels of processing: A framework for memory research

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the evidence for multistore theories of memory and pointed out some difficulties with the approach and proposed an alternative framework for human memory research in terms of depth or levels of processing.

Depth of processing and the retention of words in episodic memory.

TL;DR: For instance, Craik and Lockhart as discussed by the authors explored the levels of processing framework for human memory research and found that deeper encodings took longer to accomplish and were associated with higher levels of performance on the subsequent memory test.

Manual for kit of reference tests for cognitive factors (revised 1963)

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of tests for defining aptitude or achievement factors are presented for use in factorial studies where representation is desired for any of the following named aptitude and achievement factors: flexibility of closure, speed of closure; associational fluency, expressional fluency; ideational fluencies; word fluency and induction; length estimation.

The association value of random shapes.

TL;DR: The present experiment was undertaken to provide a pool of random shapes with known association value for use in studies of the effects of certain stimulus variables and pretraining upon recognitive performance.
