Abstract
Patients who learned a story and a map design the night before, recalled less after ECT than those who learned the same material from 5 to 90 min. prior to ECT, or control Ss tested after a night but without ECT. Memory tended to be most intact with the shorter intervals between learning and shock. The results do not fit the consolidation theory, but can be reconciled with other findings that support it. New learning, if it involves organization, exceeds the duration of the consolidation process, and beyond that limit interference with recall increases with time.
