Abstract
A study was conducted using a continuous paired-associate task varying the retention interval after one of two presentations of a pair of words. The lag between presentations was also varied. Half of the two presentation items represented an A-B, A-C negative transfer design while the other half were A-B A-B items. Two different groups were instructed, with regard tc the A-B, A-C items, to recall on test trials only Response B or only Response C. Under some A-B, A-C conditions, retroactive-facilitation was found. Specifically, with a relatively long retention interval and short lags, the presentation of A-C was as effective as a second presentation of A-B for the recall of B.
