本文通过两个实验对Coll和Coll 1994年提出的记忆痕迹发展递进精细属性理论进行了支持和补充。这一理论的五个命题对本论文很重要。(1)记忆痕迹沿着属性维度从粗略/一般到精细/具体发展。(2)遗忘是一种从精细到粗略的反向运动，因为越来越少的精细属性会丢失。(3)记忆痕迹由一串定义属性和相关属性组成。对于属性包中包含的属性类型或获取的类型顺序没有约束。跟踪名称由其表示的属性包定义。(4)对存储器跟踪的任何定义属性的访问给予对跟踪束的所有其他属性的完全访问。(5)在痕迹发展的早期阶段，这些属性在回忆中是突出的，但随着对要学习的项目的熟悉程度的增加，这些属性变得越来越紧密，名称也变得更加突出。随着遗忘的进展，就会回归到最初的状态(属性是卓越的)。实验1支持命题3和4以及Exp.2支持命题3和5。这两个实验都提供了对命题1和2的验证，而不是以前的工作。作者提出的论点是，逐步精细属性理论的从粗到精的运动是加工水平运行的机制。
In this paper two experiments support and amplify Coll and Coll's 1994 Progressively Finer Attributes Theory of Memory Trace Development. Important to the current paper are five propositions of this theory. (1) The memory trace develops along an attribute dimension from coarse/general to fine/specific attributes. (2) Forgetting is a reverse movement from fine to coarse as increasingly less fine attributes are lost. (3) A memory trace consists of a bundle of defining attributes and relating attributes. There are no constraints on the type of attribute included in the attribute bundle or in the order of types acquired. The trace name is defined by the attribute bundle it represents. (4) Access to any defining attribute of a memory trace gives full access to all other attributes of the trace bundle. (5) In the early phases of trace development the attributes are preeminent in recall but, as familiarity with a to-be-learned item increases, the attributes become increasingly cohesive and the name assumes preeminence. As forgetting progresses, there is a return to the original state (attributes are preeminent). Exp. 1 supports Propositions 3 and 4 and Exp. 2 supports Propositions 3 and 5. Both experiments provide validation of Propositions 1 and 2 beyond that in prior work. The authors present arguments that the coarse-to-fine movement of the Progressively Finer Attributes Theory is the mechanism by which Levels of Processing operates.
