Period
This artifact was used between 1960-1980 in Vancouver at UBC.
Canada
The memory drum has a history going back to 1887 and the earliest psychological laboratories in North America and Europe. In Canada after World War II, memory drums became part of the emerging field of cognitive psychology. This memory drum was used by at UBC Psychology Department by Prof. Douglas Kenny, who's research and teaching centered on the areas of personality and learning, developmental psychology and patterns of child development. Prof. Kenny was chair of the psychology department from 1965 to 1970. He was also president of UBC from 1975 to 1983. Le tambour de mnémomètre a une histoire qui date de 1887 dans les laboratoires de psychologie en Nord-Amérique et en Europe. La psychologie cognitive a pris ces ailes après la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale ici au Canada et le tambour de mnémomètre à commencer à prendre plus d'espace dans ce nouveau domaine. Ce tambour de mnémomètre a été utilisé par Prof. Douglas Kenny au Département de Psychologie a UBC pour des recherches de personnalité et apprentissage ainsi que les patrons de développement de l'enfant et la psychologie du développement. Prof. Douglas Kenny était le directeur du département de psychologie entre 1965 et 1983 et président de UCB entre 1975 et 1983.
Function
This cable was used to supply power to the Electronic Memory Drum 241 to help with memory testing experiments at the University of British Columbia for their psychology department. Ce câble était utilisé pour l'alimentation du Electronic Memory Drum 241 pour aider avec les expériences de mémoire à l'Université de la Colombie-Britannique au département de psychologie.
Technical
The specific line or word is illuminated by a mercury-vapor tube. The precision of this light exposure (on and off) prevents time-lag, which is essential for memory studies. This memory drum has variable exposure times adjusted by the dials on the back. Wichita Apparatus Supply, Inc. also made a precision chronoscope for visual studies. Une ligne de mots ou un mot spécifique est illuminé avec un tuyau à vapeur de mercure. La précision de l'exposition lumineuse éliminait le problème de décalage qui était absolument essentiel pour les études à mémoire. Ce tambour de mnémomètre a un temps d'exposition variable qui peut être ajusté avec des boutons sur l'arrière de l'artefact. La compagnie de fabrication (Wichita Apparatus Supply, Inc.) était aussi responsable de la fabrication d’un chronoscope avec le même niveau de précisons pour des études visuelles.
