Abstract: | Memory for the location of a briefly presented target is often distorted in systematic ways. When people remember dot locations
within a circular space, they typically show memory biases that appear to reflect a categorical strategy. However, memory
for a target location can also be biased toward visible markers or landmarks. In the present study, we investigated the interaction
of categorical and landmark effects by providing sectioning lines in a circular space. In the absence of lines, response biases
showed categorical effects, whereas in the presence of lines, response biases suggested that participants used a landmark-based
scheme. Possible relations between the strategies are discussed. |
