Quantifying the effects of content, complexity and delay on memory for real-world images (2011)
Thesis
Henshaw, H. (2011). Quantifying the effects of content, complexity and delay on memory for real-world images. (Thesis). University of Leicester. Retrieved from https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/16230390

“A picture speaks a thousand words”, yet retrieval of a specific, previously viewed image from a large image collection may result in a substantial number of unwanted returns. This thesis offers an investigation into the feasibility of a novel soluti... Read More about Quantifying the effects of content, complexity and delay on memory for real-world images.
