Memory Retrieval and the Problem of Scanning.

Corballis, Michael C.

Psychological Review, v86 n2 p157-60 Mar 1979

Ratcliff's theory of memory retrieval which posits parallel processing and Sternberg's serial processing explanation of memory scanning are reviewed and contrasted. Discrepancy between the two theories may arise because they focus on different aspects of the data. If scanning without comparisons takes place, the two views may be reconciled. (Author/RD)
