VISUAL IMAGERY DIFFERENCES IN THE RECALL OF PICTURES

MARKS, DAVID F.·1973·British Journal of Psychology

Abstract

Male and female subjects who differed in their verbal reports of visual image vividness were tested for recall in three experiments involving coloured photographs as stimuli. In all three experiments subjects who reported vivid visual imagery were more accurate in recall than subjects who reported poor visual imagery. In the first two experiments, females recalled more accurately than males. On the assumption that vividness reports and recall were both mediated by the same covert event ‐ a visual image ‐ these results provide further evidence that images have an important role in memory.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The SUIS shows convergent validity with related measures and has good test-retest reliability (ICC = .69).

    “The measure shows convergent validity with related measures (Marks, 1973; Sheehan, 1967) and has good test-retest reliability (ICC = .69; Nelis et al., 2014).”
  • The lifelong absence of imagery received relatively little scientific attention over the century following Galton.

    “the lifelong absence of imagery, as implied by Galton's description, received relatively little scientific attention over the following century”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
