Abstract
Proactive interference (PI) has been shown to affect performance on verbal working memory tasks, but less is known about PI in the visuospatial domain. We report two experiments that investigated the build-up of PI in visuospatial working memory and whether increasing distinctiveness across trials would reduce PI’s effects.
