A Model Of Spatio-Temporal Coding Of Memory For Multidimensional Stimuli
White Papers This paper presents a model of memory for multidimensional stimuli. The model also suggests that positional codes implicated in many memory models may be the result of the initial positional encoding of stimuli by perception.

Semanticons: Visual Metaphors As File Icons
White Papers Two psychophysical studies using semanticons as stimuli demonstrate that semanticons decrease the time necessary to locate a file in a visual search task and enhance performance in a memory task. Semanticons can enhance the representation of files...
