“…Fortunately, there are some data on the question of how the appearance of twice-presented words on a study list affects the recall of words presented only once (Hastie, 1975;Tulving & Hastie, 1972;Robbins, Bray, & Irvin, 1974;Waugh, 1963). In the aggregate, the results support the conclusion that recall of once-presented items is not impaired by the occurrence of twice-presented items unless subjects are obliged to remember the fact that the latter occurred twice.…”

Subjects made delayed pitch comparisons when the standard and comparison tones were separated by a sequence of interpolated tones. In some conditions, a tone of the same pitch as the standard tone was included among the interpolated tones. Recognition performance was superior for sequences where the standard tone pitch was repeated, even compared with control sequences of reduced size. The improvement in performance produced by the repeated tone depended on its position in the intervening sequence. Improvement was substantial and highly significant when the standard tone pitch was repeated in the second serial position of a sequence of six interpolated tones, but small and insignificant when it was repeated in the fifth serial position.

“…Despite the fact that the current flurry of research on the MP-DP problem with this method was sparked by Waugh's (1963) reported failure to find a DP effect, subsequent research has revealed very large, readily replicable, beneficial effects of spaced presentations of items on later free recall of them, at least under some conditions. Unlike the situation with respect to the data obtained by the CPA method and the BrownPeterson method, the pretheoretic problem 3Keppel (1964) has observed relatively large (ca.…”

“…Two of the lists were made from high-frequency four-letter nouns (as in the experiment on rate), and two lists were made from mixtures of high-and low-frequency words of different word classes ("mixed" words) of the sort Waugh (1963) used in her original study. Each S had one list of each word type with visual presentation and one with auditory presentation, with complete counterbalancing of lists and words-withinconditions across Ss.…”

The revival of interest in the effectiveness of spaced practice, as compared with massed practice, in learning is attributed to the abandonment of the constraints of serial and pairedassociate list learning and the discovery of stable benefits from spaced practice in continuous paired-associate learning, short-term memory for individual items, and single-trial free-recall learning. Comments are made about the preceding symposium papers by Underwood, Waugh, and Greeno,,and some data on the differential effects of spacing of repetitions in freerecall learning are introduced in an effort to assess the current state of fact and theory.Before looking at the data and theories that have been presented at this symposium, it seems to me worthwhile to consider how we have gotten to where we are today in the examination of the question of the relative effectiveness of massed practice (MP) and distributed practice (DP), and why.
