Abstract: | Abstract.— Two experiments exploring the modality relation between memory task and interference task are reported. With visual and verbal tasks, variations in modality relation did not influence the total amount recalled. The usual serial position effect was observed when memory and interference task were of different modalities. The amount of recall was found to be a function of the memory strategies used by the subjects, 'active' strategies producing highest recall. |
