This series of studies investigates the effect of informational transformations of various levels of difficulty, as indicated by the amount of information reduction required, upon material in short-term storage at the time of the transform. Exp. I shows that with number and similarity of interpolated items held constant, the greater the difficulty of a transform the more forgetting will result from it. Exp. II and III show that these effects cannot be attributed entirely to increases in the time an item remains in store. Rather, time in store and difficulty of transform both contribute to determining the amount of forgetting. Exp. IV shows that the loss of material in store is a decreasing function of its distance prior to the transform, but that the transformed material itself shows no decline in retention. These results point to an operational definition of rehearsal as a process requiring part of the limited central capacity of S.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
