Retention Differences as a Function of the Number of Verbal Lists Learned Simultaneously.

Underwood, Benton J.; Lund, Arnold M.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v5 n2 p151-59 Mar 1979

Subjects learned one, two, or three verbal lists simultaneously. Recall of the common list after 24 hours increased directly as the number of lists learned simultaneously increased. Assuming that simultaneous learning reduced interference, the interference was from extraexperimental sources of a proactive nature. (Author/CP)
