Competition Processes and Proactive Interference in Short-Term Memory

Bennett, Raymond W.; Kurzeja, Paul L.

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 15, 6, 703-711, Dec 76

A competition model would predict that when subjects are forced to respond quickly, there will be an increase in errors, and these will be from recent past items. The prediction was confirmed. (CHK)
