Abstract
Simultaneous (SM) and sequential (SQ) visual presentation of consonant series varying in length were compared as a function of stimulus duration and presentation rate, respectively. A systematic dependence of recall upon these parameters was demonstrated for two measures of performance. Second for second, SM presentation was found to be more efficient than SQ.
