Abstract
Five experiments were run in an attempt to identify effective parameters of prerecall warm-up. Only one experiment confirmed the phenomenon. It utilized four different warm-up tasks: color naming (CN), digit anticipation (DA), deliberate rehearsal (RO), and deliberate rehearsal with reorientation towards the memory drum (RR). Performance in recall was compared with an immediate recall group (IR) and a group without a warm-up activity (No WU). The CN, DA, and RO groups all showed retention losses over 24 hours, while the RR and the IR groups were equal to each other, neither having retention losses. However, in a fifth experiment replication of the RR, the RO, the IR, and the No WU conditions did not yield the same results.
