CONNECTION OF THE VARIOUS INVARIANT HYPOT HESES IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY OF MEMORY

Four invariant hypotheses, which have been independently worked out ar e compared: Baddeley's hypothesis of the memory trace, Canavagh's hypo thesis of the constant number of analyzing features, the modified lear ning hypothesis of Bredenkamp and Nevelski's hypothesis. It was shown, that latter two hypotheses imply Thurstone's equation for the learnin g curve. The time per features test in Sternberg task is calculated on the basis of scores, revealed in some experiments and in accordance w ith the theoretical content of hypotheses. The indirect estimate of th is time is compared with Geissler time quantum. In conclusion these hy potheses were united with Baddeley hypothesis and renewed interpretati on is proposed.
