abstract = "This study compares retrieval from immediate memory by same-order and true serialorder recall. The present findings are consistent with predictions based on the assumption of an order-dependent address storage for same-order recall and a marker storage which is not order dependent for true serial-order recall. Until certain alternative assumptions are evaluated, it is not clear whether these results imply two types of retrieval from a common storage, or two types of storage.",

note = "Funding Information: Consideration of the kind of information stored in, or retrieved from, immediate memory may provide a useful way of viewing problems about the relations of storage and retrieval and of short-and long-term memory (Melton, 1963), as well as problems about the biological basis of memory (Dingman and Sporn, 1964; Gerard, 1963). Is information in short-term storage about events themselves, about the occurrence of events already known, about rules for searching long-term storage for retrieval? The present study concerns the possibility that there might be at least two types of immediate memory, both storing information about events in long-term storage but differing in that a {"}marker{"} storage holds information about the occurrence of events, while an {"}address{"} storage 1 This investigation was ~upported by the Public Health Service grant MH-08556-01 from the.
