Rapid source forgetting across modalities: a problem for working memory models

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: Curiously, in Chen et_al`s Experiment 2 (on which this studies are based), this chance-level performance is only witnessed when the item that is probed for recall during the surprise test was the item that was presented second. For instance, because the Multicomponent model explicitly distinguishes between verbal and visuospatial storage, the authors reason that it could predict differential source-related forgetting for visual versus verbal information, due to the different mechanisms and capacities of the different slave systems involved in rehearsing and maintaining information of different types. In the surprise trial of this experiment . . .
