Proactive Interference in Short-Term Recognition and Recall Memory

Dillon, Richard F.; Petrusic, William M.

Journal of Experimental Psychology, 95, 2, 412-8, Oct 72

Purpose of study was to (a) compare the rate of increase of proactive interference over the first few trials under recall and recognition memory test conditions, (2) determine the effects of two types of distractors on short-term recognition, and (3) test memory after proactive interference had reached a stable level under each of three test procedures.
