Question

When Sperling visually displayed three rows of three letters each for only one-twentieth of a second, research participantsA) had a momentary photographic memory of all nine letters.B) recognized some of the letters but could not recall any of them.C) recalled only about seven of the letters due to storage limitations.D) recalled only half the letters because they did not have enough time to see all ofthem.E) formed a sensory memory of no more than a single letter.

Answer 1

When Sperling visually displayed three rows of three letters each for only one-twentieth of a second, research participants, "had a momentary photographic memory of all nine letters."

The goal of Sperling's experiment was to demonstrate the existence of visual sensory memory and determine whether it differs between people in terms of length or capacity. He forced the test subjects to gaze at a computer throughout the experiment, and the screen briefly displayed a row of letters to the subjects.

The findings demonstrate that the individuals were able to perceive the letters and remember them, supporting the theory of visual memory. However, this memory only lasts for a brief period of time because most people can only retain those letters for a brief period of time.
