Groups the studies whose central finding concerns memory, perception, attention, judgment or another mental process treated as information processing. Belongs here: Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve Experiments, Judgment Under Uncertainty, Loftus and Palmer's Car Crash Experiment, the Lost in the Mall Experiment, Miller's Magical Number Seven Experiments, Sperling's Iconic Memory Experiment, Tolman's Cognitive Map Experiments and the Wason Selection Task.
