Replications

• A Replication of Waugh and Norman (1965) Primary Memory study, Poitras et al. (2020). Outcome recorded: mixed. Both studies' results partially support Waugh & Norman's claim (...) The results obtained from this experiment partially support Waugh and Norman's (1965) conclusion that only interference affects retention in short-term memory. It can be noted that the average proportion of correct recall decreases View paper
• Decay or interference accounts of forgetting: A replication of Waugh and Norman's (1965) study, Himi & Ferdous (2022). Outcome recorded: mixed. The findings of a direct replication effort revealed that recall performance decreased with increasing interfering items, although the pattern of decreased performance did not reflect the original study. Furthermore, the slow pace condition yielded better outcomes than the fast pace compared to deca View paper
