Igor Slutsky Ohio State University (USA) made a comparison of the "fast" memory in adults and children five years old.
Subjects were first submit multiple pictures with images of cats, bears and birds. If a re-run shots randomly required to identify the familiar image.
Adults correctly identified 7% of the images, and children — 31%.
