Abstract
In two experiments, each S received four successive trials in a distractor-type short-term memory task. A rest period was interpolated between Trials 3 and 4. Proactive interference (PI) developed across the first three trials and partially dissipated with rest. However, for all rest intervals tested (up to 5 min), the recovery from PI was increased by a shift in taxonomic class. It was suggested that performance in the release-from-PI paradigm is mediated by a combination of long-term and short-term memory processes.
