Everything about Match-to-sample task

Short-term memory for learned associations has been studied using the match-to-sample task. The basic procedure begins by presenting a subject with a stimulus that they will be required to remember, known as the 'sample'. They are then required to identify from a subsequent set of stimuli one that 'matches' the sample, known as the comparison stimuli. While the correct comparison stimulus option often matches the sample identically, the task can require a symbolic match or a matching of similar features. Wikipedia →
