Illustration of the Four Conditions of Cognitive Load and Consolidation in the Pilot Experiment.
Figure 2
Mean Percentage of Correct Immediate Serial Recall and Delayed Free Recall. Percentage of correct recall is shown according to the item type (words vs. pseudowords), the cognitive load of the concurrent task (high vs. low) and the consolidation interval (0ms vs. 2400ms). The error bars represent the standard error.
Figure 3
Mean Percentage of Correct Immediate Serial Recall and Delayed Recall in Experiment 1. Percentage of correct recall is shown according to the item type (words vs. pseudowords), the cognitive load of the concurrent processing task (high vs. low) and the consolidation interval (0ms vs. 600ms vs. 2400ms vs. 4800ms). The error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
Figure 4
Mean percentage of correct immediate serial recall by cumulated maintenance time in Experiment 1. Percentage of correct recall is shown according to item type (words vs. pseudowords), serial position (1 to 4) and cumulated maintenance time.
Figure 5
Mean percentage of correct delayed recall by cumulated maintenance time in Experiment 1. Percentage of correct recall is shown according to item type (words vs. pseudowords), serial position (1 to 5) and cumulated maintenance time.
Figure 6
Mean percentage of strategy use by item type group in Experiment 1.
Figure 7
Mean Percentage of Correct Immediate Serial Recall and Delayed Recall in Experiment 2. Percentage of correct recall is shown according to the item type (words vs. pseudowords), the cognitive load of the concurrent processing task (high vs. low) and the number of presentations (immediate recall: 1 vs. 2 vs. 3; delayed recall: 1 vs. 3). The error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
