Abstract
Short term (ST) retention of individual 3 and 5 letter units
was tested over 11 presentations with intertrial intervals of 0, 20,
and 50 sec. The results yielded no significant differences between
intertrial intervals for any of the analyses, although large amounts
of previous letter intrusions occurred, indicating the presence of
proactive interference (PI). Possible causes for the lack of
positive results and PI effects were discussed.
