I'm trying to find a study mentioned by Alan Kay in his talk, "Doing with Symbols Makes Images". He mentions a study by Harmon where 30 people were shown 10,000 photos for about 10 seconds and 30 days later were able to tell with 90% accuracy whether or not they had seen the photo before. Please email if you have any information about where I can find this study. Thanks, Tami Crawford tami@canisius.edu -- - - - - - - - Tami. L. Crawford tami@klaatu.cs.canisius.edu
