“Memory span” papers · AI for Research

Cowan assumes that chunk-based capacity limits are synonymous with the essence of a “specialized STM mechanism.” In a single experiment, we measured the capacity, or span, of long-term memory and found that it, too, corresponds roughly to the magical number 4. The results imply that a chunk-based capacity limit is not a signature characteristic of remembering over the short-term.

Verbal memory span, visual memory span, and their correlations with cognitive tasks

Shinichi Ichikawa · Japanese Psychological Research · 1983

Immediate memory spans of 82 students were measured through the recall of digit sequences and dot-in-matrix patterns. The reliabilities of both spans were very high, while the correlation between the spans was low (r=.209). In addition, the same subjects were given eight kinds of cognitive tasks (Word Relation, Maze, Addition, Shape Series, Anagram, Space Relation, Number Series, and Mental Rotation) selected from intelligence tests. The two spans were correlated with the performance of each task in different degrees. Results of the factor analysis showed that the digit span had a high loading value on the “verbal” factor, while the span with dot patterns loaded the “visuospatial” factor. It is suggested that the capacities of those verbal and visual immediate memory are independent to each other from the point of view of individual difference, and that they have distinct roles in problem solving.

Memory span: determinants and measures

El-Mir, Mohammed · Figshare · 2022

The current study attempts to trace the historical development of memory capacity evaluation, in addition to identifying the limitations of this capacity and the factors that determine it. Previous studies have shown that the accumulation of data collected by researchers in the psychology of memory has led to a better understanding of how human memory works, and this paves the way for more effective measures of memory capacity. This historical review derives its value from the fact that memory capacity has become an important variable in a large number of scientific works that examine the correlations between memory capacity and performance in a range of cognitive activities. It was clear from previous research on memory that tasks measuring its capacity were of great interest for psychologists given its valuable applied extensions. Some of the determinants of memory capacity are repetition, and the speed of information processing... As for the factors that affect memory capacity, we can mention the rate of decay of traces. As for memory capacity measures. Regarding the measures of memory capacity, based on the capacity of meaningless syllables we now have a large number of tasks that measure the capacity of different memory structures. However, despite the great development of the exploration of memory, there is still a need to elaborate more accurate measures which their sensitivity is not affected by the differences in the studied situations.

Lymphocyte life-span and memory

Jonathan Sprent, David F. Tough · Science · 1994

Differentiation of immature T and B cells in the primary lymphoid organs gives rise to a pool of long-lived lymphocytes that recirculate through the secondary lymphoid tissues. On the basis of their surface markers, T and B cells comprise a mixture of naïve and memory cells with differing life-spans. Immunization (and vaccination) causes naïve lymphocytes to proliferate and differentiate into effector cells and memory cells. Whether the survival of memory cells is innate or requires persistent contact with residual antigen is controversial. Resolving this issue may be crucial for designing optimal vaccines.
