In a Hybrid Search, observers determine if an item in the world matches any item in Activate Long Term Memory (ALTM). We hypothesize that items are selected by visual attentional mechanisms and passed, one at a time, through Visual Working Memory (VWM) to Activated Long Term Memory (ALTM). In ALTM, the selected item is compared to the memory set in a process whose duration is a logarithmic function of the memory set size.
