(49) TI: EFFECTS OF INTERPOLATED PROCESSING ON EXPERTS RECALL OF SCHEMATIC INFORMATION AU: GARLAND_DJ, BARRY_JR NA: EMBRY RIDDLE AERONAUT UNIV,DEPT HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCI,DAYTONA BEACH,FL,32114 UNIV GEORGIA,ATHENS,GA,30602 JN: CURRENT PSYCHOLOGY-RESEARCH & REVIEWS 1992 Vol.10 No.4 pp.273-280 AB: The present study, using schematic sport diagrams, examined the perceptual chunking hypothesis (Chase & Simon, 1973a; 1973b) that visual patterns are represented by labels in a limited-capacity, short-term memory. This study, which employed three subject-skill levels and an interpolated processing paradigm, indicated that for experts, information extracted during an 8-second study period has great longevity and durability. Interpolated processing demands, along with an additional encoding activity of a second diagram presentation, had minimal effects on recall performance. This evidence supports the position that meaningful and familiar information abstracted during a brief exposure period is immediately processed in long-term memory, thus facilitating subsequent retrieval.
