Abstract

Three experiments were performed to compare the effects of various interpolated tasks on the serial recall of comparable tactually and visually presented binary sequences. The results showed the tactually presented stimuli to be more disrupted by the interference. These findings are generally consistent with the view that tactual as compared with visual stimuli generate sensory traces which last after the stimuli have been removed and which may thus aid in recall. Other interpretations of this modality difference in sensitivity to interference are considered.
