Cole, Katherine C. (1989): Effects of Verbal and Spatial Memory Loading on Cognitive Recall Strategies. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. p. 877.

“Human performance is constrained by information processing capacity limits. The inability to perceive and assimilate performance-relevant information and translate that information into an appropriate response may be reflected in decrements in cognitive and motor output. Skilled performers appear to have minimized the effects that the limited nature of attention and short-term memory can have on performance. Such efficiency of performance is attributed to changes that occur in complex systems as a result of learning, practice, and experience. Empirically, these performance changes are reflected in both the speed and accuracy of responding, and are related to enhanced access to response alternatives maintained in memory. Further, rapid access to the strategic memory contents that facilitate fast action performance appears to be a function of the manner in which information is structured or organized in memory. This paper examines the organization of domain-specific information through a determination of (a) the cognitive strategies used by experts and novices to recall schematic and random diagrams, (b) the effects of interfering verbal and spatial tasks imposed during a retention interval, and (c) how the effects of interfering tasks on recall strategies may vary as a function of the level of expertise of the performer.”
