Historical Context:

Do timing and similarity of interference affect memory? A total of 70 participants, mainly introductory psychology students, were presented with a list of 25 words one at a time on a computer screen. Four groups heard interference words that were either related or unrelated to the target visual word; auditory interference was presented either simultaneously with the visual word or 1.5 seconds later. A fifth (control) group received no auditory interference. Memory for the visually-presented words was tested by both recall and recognition. No statistically significant differences were found.
