A recognition memory experiment investigated Ss' ability to organize information in short-term memory. A paradigm similar to that used by Sternberg was employed. A sequentially presented series of six digits (positive set) was shown with each digit appearing on a red, green, or amber background. The colors defined different ensembles, and responding to a test digit was contingent upon an item's membership in the positive set and the color-defined ensemble. Reaction time (RT) to the test digits indicated that Ss did organize information into ensembles. Furthermore, when informative cues were presented prior to the test item, Ss directed and confined their search to the cued subset.
一项再认记忆实验研究了被试在短期记忆中组织信息的能力。实验采用了类似于斯滕伯格使用的范式。一系列连续呈现的六个数字（正集），每个数字出现在红色、绿色或琥珀色的背景上。颜色定义了不同的集合，对测试数字的反应取决于项目是否属于正集和颜色定义的集合。对测试数字的反应时间（RT）表明，被试确实将信息组织成了集合。此外，当在测试项目之前呈现信息提示时，被试将搜索范围限定在提示的子集中。
