ABSTRACT
This chapter is a review of data and theories in the area of short-term recognition memory. The data covered are signal-detection analysis, encoding time, forgetting and lag, latency functions, interrelationships among accuracy and latency and confidence, latency distributions, and changes in the parameters of the latency distributions with list length. The theories covered are the conveyor belt model of Murdock (1974); the resonance retrieval theory of Ratcliff (1978); and CADAM, the distributed memory model of Liepa (1977).
