Organizational properties in a cutaneous memory-scanning task.
An experiment investigated the notion that organizational properties operate in a memory-scanning task using cutaneous stimuli. The results indicated that the open-closed nature of the positive set is a significant factor in a cutaneous memory-scanning task. Set-size was not a significant factor. The data suggest there are some organizational processes in a cutaneous memory-scanning task, however, these processes do not seem to be completely analogous to those used in visual and auditory memory-scanning tasks.
