An Information Processing Approach to Performance Assessment: II. An Investigation of Encoding and Retrieval Processes in Memory.

摘要

This paper describes the tasks, methodology, and results of the second experiment carried out during this research effort. This experiment was designed to investigate other types of information processing activities that might be included as part of the IPPB. The focus in this case was on structural features of the information processing system, those that describe the nature of the information at a particular processing stage rather than the operations being performed. The six tasks in this experiment were concerned with the nature of memory representation and provided measures of various aspects of encoding and retrieval of previously stored information. This second experiment was more limited in scope than the first study, focusing more on the logistics of administering and scoring the tasks than on reliability and validity issues.
