When this was the case there was an interaction between retention interval and interpolated parking episodes.
This appears to be particularly important where long retention intervals are involved (Pillemer, 1984).
A retention interval consists of a start time and a retention period.
This may potentially interfere with other forms of processing that are required for different tasks during the retention interval.
However, the memory gains might have occurred during various phases of the testing, but not necessarily within the long-term retention interval itself.
A single Brown-Peterson trial consists of a study list, a retention interval and then a recall period.
The number of omission errors increased with the retention interval and better students made fewer errors.
There was a retention interval of 10 seconds between the final item and the recall of target items.
Irrelevant sound took place when a male voice was spoken in the left headphone throughout the retention interval, right before the recall of items.
The length of the retention interval also affected overlearning, but the effects were different for physical and cognitive tasks.
