Free Recall after Self-paced Study: A Test of the Attention Explanation of the Spacing Effect
Zimmerman, Joel
American Journal of Psychology, 88, 2, 277-91, Jun 75
This experiment tested the hypothesis that attenuation of attention would be a direct function of lag and whether certain manipulations within the context of a self-paced study procedure would allow for an interpretation of the superior recall of distributed versus massed items by way of that hypothesis.
