摘要
The authors conducted 3 sets of experiments. In the Ist set of experiments, participants made alphabetic position estimations. In the 2nd set, participants made interletter distance estimations; In the 3rd set, they made comparative judgments of the alphabetic order of a pair of letters. The results showed that participants had highly accurate ordinal level information about the alphabet in memory but that interval level information was systematically distorted. In addition, alphabetic serial information was found to be used in 2 distinct modes in memory, depending on whether the representation could be contained within the span of immediate memory.
