The partial-report procedure involves presenting an array of stimuli, followed by a cue to indicate which specific part of the array the participant should report on. In Sperling's experiments, the cue would indicate which row of the array the participant should recall, making the partial-report procedure the best choice. Backward and forward visual masking involve presenting stimuli before or after the target stimulus to disrupt its processing, while whole-report procedure would require the participant to recall all stimuli rather than just one specific row.
