Active tactile recognition memory for common objects is compared with passive touch. The recognition memory test occure after a delay between inspection and test of seven days. Three groups of five each have the following conditions and results: Group I manipulated objects at both inspection and test to obtain a recognition rate of 87.9%; Group II manipulated objects at inspection but not at test, i.e., passive touch, to produce a recognition rate of 80.7%; Group III manipulated objects at test but not at inspection to perform at a 72.5% accuracy rate. Object manipulation had a significant effect and the group means were all significantly different (p less than or equal to .05), with the largest performance decrement due to passive touch at encoding. Generally, the findings implicated the importance of object identity in tactile recognition memory which, in turn, is supportive of the depth-of-processing approach to memory.
将对常见物体的主动触觉识别记忆与被动触觉进行比较。识别记忆测试在检查和测试之间间隔七天后进行。三组，每组五人，有以下条件和结果：第一组在检查和测试时都对物体进行操作，识别率为87.9%；第二组在检查时对物体进行操作，但在测试时不操作，即被动触觉，识别率为80.7%；第三组在测试时对物体进行操作，但在检查时不操作，准确率为72.5%。物体操作有显著影响，各组均值均有显著差异（p小于或等于0.05），编码时被动触觉导致的表现下降最大。总体而言，研究结果表明物体识别在触觉识别记忆中的重要性，这反过来又支持了记忆的加工深度方法。
