Given two events, both of which are well remembered, can we specify
which event occurred first? If so, how? For example, did Nixon
resign, before or after Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs?
Originally published in 1977, little was known about the accuracy
of temporal codes for memories, and still less about the nature of
the codes. This volume addresses the central question of the
mechanisms by which order information is attached to memories. The
results of sixteen previously unpublished experiments indicate the
role of some independent variables on temporal coding in relatively
short-term memory and in long-term memory. Several experiments, in
which changes in proactive inhibition are used as an index of
temporal differentiation, show that the nature of the words making
up the lists is involved fundamentally in temporal coding. Other
experiments demonstrate that in relatively short-term memory a
subject cannot learn to improve his performance in estimating how
far apart in time two events occurred. Still other experiments show
that recency judgments for two events improve with practice, but
the improvement is independent of the temporal separation. The
context in which memories are established is shown to influence
temporal codes only if an ordering metric is part of the context.
The author advances several theoretical propositions to account for
the various findings. In doing so he has given initial structuring
for subsequent research to a neglected area. This volume will still
be of significant interest to all those interested in learning and
memory.
