The Effect of Modality Shifts on Practive Interference in Long-Term Memory.

Dean, Raymond S.; And Others

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v8 n1 p28-45 Jan 1983

In experiment one, subjects learned a word list in blocked or random forms of auditory/visual change. In experiment two, high- and low-conceptual rigid subjects read passages in shift conditions or nonshift, exclusively in auditory or visual modes. A shift in modality provided a powerful release from proactive interference. (Author/CM)
