What could be simpler than remembering a few items, such as the digits in a phone number, for a brief time in the right order? Notwithstanding its simplicity, this serial recall task is essential for sophisticated human abilities such as vocabulary acquisition. This project investigates whether chronological time is a causal variable in short-term memory, as some?but by no means all?theorists assume. Experiments will manipulate time between items at study and retrieval using novel techniques, and thus observe the effect of time on memory. Computational models of psychological time will be developed to better predict memory performance.

有什么比按照正确的顺序短暂记住一些项目（例如电话号码中的数字）更简单的呢？尽管很简单，但这种连续回忆任务对于词汇习得等复杂的人类能力至关重要。该项目研究按时间顺序排列的时间是否是短期记忆中的因果变量，正如一些（但绝不是全部）理论家所假设的那样。实验将使用新技术操纵学习和检索项目之间的时间，从而观察时间对记忆的影响。将开发心理时间的计算模型以更好地预测记忆表现。
