Abstract
Trace strength was examined as a function of single and spaced-multiple encodings within and across the orthographic, acoustic, and semantic domains. Incidental memory performance (recall and recognition) replicated effects obtained by Craik and Tulving (1975) and was used to predict performance in multiple encoding conditions. The recall results revealed that multiple encodings yielded additive or greater than additive retention effects while the recognition accuracy results revealed additive or less than additive effects. In addition, recognition latency was systematically related to initial processing conditions and accuracy. The accuracy data suggest that processing domains are qualitatively different and independent. The recognition latency data suggest a model which assumes parallel processing and pattern matching within each of these domains.
