The Ranschburg Effect: Tests of the Guessing-Bias and Proactive Interference Hypotheses

Walsh, Michael F.; Schwartz, Marian

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 16, 1, 55-68, Feb 77

The guessing-bias and proactive interference hypotheses of the Ranschburg Effect were investigated by giving three groups different instructions as to guessing during recall. Results failed to support the prediction that the effect should be reduced or eliminated on shift trials. Neither hypothesis received significant support. (CHK)
