A Group Factor in Immediate Memory
Excerpt from A Group Factor in Immediate Memory
The present study is an experimental attack upon a specific problem in the organization of mental traits. Recent discus sions regarding the presence of a number of independent group factors in mental organization make experimental identification and isolation of such factors timely and desir able. It is with one of these proposed group factors, namely memory, that the present investigation is concerned. This study undertakes to find an experimental answer to the ques tion of the existence of a common factor through a number of memory tests and its relation to other factors. If such a memory factory is discovered, a battery of tests for measuring it will then be constructed and the efficiency with which this battery estimates the central factor determined.
