English term or phrase: Probed position
In this experiment, the digit series was auditorily presented and the subjects responded with the number at the probed position in a digit series.

It was concluded that experts spontaneously encode the digit series into an imaged abacus, while non-experts encode it verbally; that experts directly access the probed position within their image but serially process the verbally coded overflowed part; and that non-experts search the digit series serially.

n their experiment the subjects imagined three- or five-letter words, and had to say whether the letter at the probed position in an imaged word is vertically large lower case (e.g., b, d, . . ., y) or small (e.g., a, c, . . ., z).

The reaction time (RT) from onset of the probe to onset of the response was measured.

If the letter image can be directly accessed, RT should not vary with probe position.

However, unfortunately, probe position effects were significant.
