A common short-term memory retrieval rate may describe many cognitive procedures

We examine the relationship between response speed and the number of items in short-term memory in four different paradigms and find evidence for a similar high-speed processing rate of about 25 to 30 items per second (~35 to 40 ms/item). We propose that the similarity of the processing rates across...
