In this scenario, Steve briefly recalls a visually presented image after first seeing a bright neon sign. This points to a memory system specialized for visual information with a very short duration.
Option 1: iconic memory. This is the correct match because iconic memory is the short-term visual store that holds a fleeting image for fractions of a second, enabling brief recall even after the stimulus has disappeared. The cue here is the brief visual recall of the word, which aligns with classic definitions of iconic memory.
Option 2: echoic memory. Echoic memory concerns auditory information, such as sounds or spoken words, retained briefly after the sound ends. Since the scenario emphasizes a visual sign rather than a sound, this option misfits the modality involved.
Option 3: procedural memory. Procedural memory covers learned skills and actions (how to ride a bike, type, etc.), not the instantaneous retention of visual images. It explains "how" to do things rather than "what" was seen in a moment, so it does not fit the described phenomenon.
Option 4: implicit memory. Implicit memory refers to unconscious influences on behavior, such as priming or social biases, rather than a momentary residual image of a visual scene. This option does not capture the brief, visual sensory trace the scenario highlights.

Which statement correctly describes how Sperling modified his partial report method to measure the duration of visual sensory memory, AND what is the estimated duration of the iconic trace using this method?

Why was the partial report paradigm better at measuring iconic memory capacity than the whole report paradigm?
