title: Effects of same and cross-modal interference on recall of word lists.
abstract: This research examined with 48 undergraduates the effects of same and cross-modal interference in the recall of word lists. The modalities were visual and auditory for both type of presentation and type of interference. A two-way analysis of variance indicated a main effect for type of interference, with auditory interference significantly decreasing recall for both visual and auditory word lists. There was no interaction between mode of presentation and mode of interference.
