Memory for visual objects has been shown to be much better than memory for auditory objects. Previous studies have found that the recollection of visual and auditory objects differed more than the familiarity for those objects. Additionally, we found that dividing attention (either with the same modality or opposite modality) reduced recollection for visual objects but not of auditory objects. It also reduced familiarity for visual objects, but less for auditory objects; this effect was substantially smaller than that found for recollection though. These previous findings could be due to overall differences in performance levels for the two modalities. It could be that the null effect of attention on auditory recollection is due to the fact that overall recognition is much lower for auditory than for visual items. The current study will reduce the recognition of the visual objects by reducing encoding time and displaying them in greyscale to reduce distinctiveness. This is an attempt to equate performance between the modalities which will allow us to better assess the impact of dividing attention on the different modalities. The broader question is: why does memory differ for auditory and visual objects? The specific question in this experiment is: can we equate performance between visual and auditory objects and will divided attention affect both visual and auditory object recollection when overall recognition has been equated? |
