Abstract
In tests of short-term memory, intra-list differences have been observed in the extent to which accuracy of recall of items is affected by interfering events. No such differences occurred when all items were equally rehearsed, which suggests that the intra-list differences in resistance to interference were caused by differential rehearsal of items during presentation.
