Abstract
In their commerce with the world human beings come into contact with a seemingly endless array of people, objects, and events, some of which they notice and some of which they overlook, some of which they attend to and some of which they ignore, some of which they remember and some of which they forget. It is a truism to say that a great deal of perceptual/ cognitive work goes on in everyday existence. The nature of the processes involved in relating to the environment and the way they operate have, of course, long been issues of considerable interest among psychologists of many persuasions (see Kahneman, 1973; Keele, 1973; Klatzky, 1975; Turvey, 1975, for reviews of various positions).
