Abstract
Two experiments tested the effects of time in short-term storage (STS) on recall from long-term memory (LTM). Experiment 1 examined the specific effects of Type I processing on high versus low association value (AV) consonant vowel consonants (CVCs). The to-be remembered CVCs were held in STS for varying time intervals; those items maintained for longer periods of time are recognized better than items maintained for shorter periods. In addition, high association value CVCs were recognized better than low association value CVCs showing a greater effect of time, confirming Saltz’s (1971) differentiation position. Experiment 2 examined the effects of Type I processing under conditions of semantic processing. Critical words were held in STS for 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 sec. Words maintained in STS for longer periods of time were recalled better than items maintained for shorter periods. These results conflict with the levels-of-processing viewpoint.
