Using between subject designs, Tversky and Sherman (1975) and Weaver (1974) demonstrated that increases in the blank interval (offtime) separating two successive pictures leads to improved performance on retention tests. If this improvement results from active rehearsal strategies, subjects should be able to differentially rehearse pictures cued…
