Peer reviewedAngiolillo-Bent, Joel S.; Rips, Lance J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1982

Reaction time increased with the number of positions that the letters were displaced. Results indicate that order may be an important factor in retrieval from memory. (Author/BW)
