ABSTRACT
This paper presents a model of memory for multidimensional stimuli. The model captures the independence of features in memory, their recovery using spatial location and temporal cues, and the role of verbal recoding in building integrative feature memories. The model fits data showing that object features may be retrieved independently when given a location cue, but that correct retrieval of missing features given a feature cue depends on the correct retrieval of location. The model also suggests that positional codes implicated in many memory models may be the result of the initial positional encoding of stimuli by perception.
