Long-Term Memory for a Common Object.
Nickerson, Raymond S.; Adams, Marilyn Jager
Cognitive Psychology, v11 n3 p287-307 Jul 1979
Five experiments investigated how completely and accurately adults remember the visual details of the common United States penny. Subjects had to draw a penny from unaided recall and select the correct representation of a penny. Performance was poor on all tasks. Implications for long-term memory models were discussed.
