Working memory capacity and gender
Regina Ershova, Eugen Tarnow
The working memory capacity (WMC) of 400 Russian college students was measured using the Tarnow Unchunkable Test [2] which tests WMC alone without requiring explicit working memory…
A Precise Measure of Working Memory Reveals Subjects Difficulties Managing Limited Capacity
Regina Ershova, Eugen Tarnow
Free recall consists of two separate stages: the emptying of working memory and reactivation [1]. The Tarnow Unchunkable Test (TUT, [2]) uses double integer items to separate out o…
Direct Evidence Delay with A Task Decreases Working Memory Content in Free Recall
Eugen Tarnow
Recently it was shown that free recall consists of two stages: the first few recalls empty the working memory and a second stage concludes the recall (Tarnow, 2015; for a review of…
Free Recall Shows Similar Reactivation Behavior as Recognition & Cued Recall
Eugen Tarnow
I find that the total retrieval time in word free recall increases linearly with the total number of items recalled. Measured slopes, the time to retrieve an additional item, vary…
First direct evidence of two stages in free recall and three corresponding estimates of working memory capacity
Eugen Tarnow
I find that exactly two stages can be seen directly in sequential free recall distributions. These distributions show that the first three recalls come from the emptying of working…
Conditional Response Probabilities Confirm Two Stages of Free Recall, Working Memory Very Localized, Second Stage Delocalized, Both with Strong Tendencies to Forward Subsequent Recalls
Eugen Tarnow
Recently it was shown that free recall consists of two stages: the first few recalls empty working memory and a second stage concludes the recall (Tarnow, 2015; for a review of the…
