2 experiments with a total of 40 undergraduates examined the processing demands during a short-term memory task in which Ss were instructed to forget part of a list of stimulus words. This directed forgetting technique permitted variation of the memory load while holding list size constant. A simple reaction time (RT) task was performed concurrently with the encoding, retention, and serial recall of word lists. Results comparable to those reported in similar studies using pupillary response were obtained using RT as a secondary task. Within 4 sec following cues to forget a portion of the word list, secondary task performance was found to improve correspondingly. No evidence was found to indicate that the secondary task measure was influenced by verbalization.
Secondary task performance during directed forgetting
Abstract
2 experiments with a total of 40 undergraduates examined the processing demands during a short-term memory task in which Ss were instructed to forget part of a list of stimulus words. This directed forgetting technique permitted variation of the memory load while holding list size constant. A simple reaction time (RT) task was performed concurrently with the encoding, retention, and serial recall of word lists. Results comparable to those reported in similar studies using pupillary response were obtained using RT as a secondary task. Within 4 sec following cues to forget a portion of the word list, secondary task performance was found to improve correspondingly. No evidence was found to indicate that the secondary task measure was influenced by verbalization.Preview Only.
