Chechile, Richard; Butler, Keith – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
A Bayesian statistical procedure separating storage from retrieval was used to study development and release of proactive interference in the Brown-Peterson paradigm. A theory of PI is developed stressing response competition at test time and interference in transfer between short- and long-term memory. (CHK)

Walsh, Michael F.; Schwartz, Marian – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
The guessing-bias and proactive interference hypotheses of the Ranschburg Effect were investigated by giving three groups different instructions as to guessing during recall. Results failed to support the prediction that the effect should be reduced or eliminated on shift trials. Neither hypothesis received significant support. (CHK)
