STIMULUS AND RESPONSE INTERFERENCE IN RECOGNITION-MEMORY EXPERIMENTS

Demonstrates an analytical technique for determining the effects of stimulus- and test-list interference on the strengths of recent memory traces. The probability that an item will be recognized as recently occurring depends on the amount of interference attributable to the items that follow it in a study list, and the items and responses that precede it in a test list. The exact relationship between the 2 types of interference seems to depend on various details of the experimental procedure used.
