Why do people remember dynamic images better than static images? Koen Lamberts (24738283) William J. Matthews (16655667) Human information processing Perception Categorization (Psychology) Migrated from ePrints Previous research has demonstrated that old-new recognition memory is better for dynamic stimuli than for static stimuli. The proposed research aims: to confirm that the recognition advantage for dynamic images is robust, to discover the reasons why dynamic images are recognised better than multi-static or static images, to develop a formal theory of recognition memory that can account for recognition of dynamic images. To achieve these aims, a series of experiments will be carried out, in which the determinants of the dynamic superiority effect will be explored. The experiments will focus particularly on the contribution of storage and retrieval processes (and their interaction) to the dynamic superiority effect. The role of motion information per se will also be investigated. The experimental results will form the basis for the development of a formal model of recognition memory for dynamic and static materials.<br><br>Data record is comprised of 9 data files, in .sav format, and 1 documentation file. Data files contain raw data from behavioural experiments, involving tests of individual participants (computer-based experimental tasks). Participants signed a consent form prior to taking part in each experiments. Details of the consent form, along with details of the experiments contained within the .sav files, are contained in the accompanying documentation.
