Abstract: Abstract We are inundated with visual stimuli every day. However, there is limited research in the area of the underlying memory storage processes involved with both complex and simple visual stimuli. Eight experiments were conducted to examine the differences in memory storage of labelable and unlabelable visual stimuli. Labelability is examined to assess the influence of language on ho... read morew images are stored. The experiments involved a Brown Peterson paradigm in which various images were presented, varying lengths of distraction occurred, and then the participants were tested on a four alternative recognition task (Brown, 1958; Peterson & Peterson, 1959). The memory parameters were examined via multiple models and functions, including an Implicit Explicit Separation model, a two trace hazard model, and a singular Weibull function. The results of these experiments suggest that the type of image presented influences how memory for the image is stored.
