- Self-Terminating = comparisons are made one at a time, as soon as target is found the comparisons stop abruptly and a response is generated <ref name=Townsend />
- Evidence for Self-Terminating = For positive trials (where the target stimulus was in the memory set) the RT slope is half of that of negative trials (where the target stimulus was not in the memory set). This is because, theoretically, participants will stop comparisons halfway through the set once identifying the positive target. As well, the linear RT function remains for new or well-known memory sets, since comparisons are believed to be serial. <ref name=Sternbergg />
- Exhaustive = comparisons are made one at a time until the entire set as been compared. After completing all comparisons, than a response is generated <ref name=Townsend />
