Abstract
Performed 6 experiments with high school, medical school, and undergraduate students (N = 61) to explore relations between storage and retrieval in a short-term memory task. Storage was indexed by measuring pauses following item exposure in an S-paced serial task, and retrieval was indexed by plotting correct response latency against ordinal presentation position. Data show that retrieval varied systematically with type of storage strategy. Active rehearsal led to slow retrieval which varied directly with ordinal position and number of items learned. Passive attention led to rapid retrieval which varied with the number of items learned but not with ordinal position. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
