More on modality effects and the lack of them in the absence of sound
Tóm tắt
Following the work of Nairne and McNabb (1985), some previously unpublished data on recency and suffix effects in the visual and tactual modalities are presented. These data and the further analysis of some previously published data clarify the complicated picture of research in this area. The implications of the presence of a new “modality effect, ” involving the tactual and visual modalities, are discussed for the various theories proposed to explain recency, suffix effects, and modality effects.
