Document Summary
To a large extent, it is your memory that tells you who you are. Think about the things that make you, you . They are your relationships with others, your roles in society, the places you"ve been, and things you"ve learned and done. However, participants reported a brief image of all the characters but they felt like they only had time to report 4 before the others faded. A post-array cue signalled which row ps should report. Participants could report about 3 items from that row. The sensory register contains all the items, but we can only fit some into stm (by attending to them). A large number of items (all items?) is at first represented in an unprocessed form in the sensory. A limited number of items can be processed from this store and they become represented in the capacity-limited stm.
