Retention Interval

As a cognitive psychologist, I do a lot of memory-based experiments. It’s generally agreed that there should be some sort of distractor task present in a memory experiment for a retention interval, because this stops people rehearsing recently learned stimuli in their short-term memory, which would affect our test. It also helps mitigate against the primacy and recency effects by increasing the time between exposure and testing.
