Abstract
Ss were required to recall unanalyzed information whilst in the process of remembering an analyzed sequence of items. Remembering the analyzed sequence by use of rehearsal did not reduce the availability of unanalyzed information. The data were discussed with respect to theoretical interpretations of rehearsal and a model was proposed emphasizing the separation of analyzed and unanalyzed information stores.
