Abstract
There was significant and large decrement of recall according to temporal presentation order compared with the recall according to stimuli modalities in dual memory tasks in which the presentation orders of auditory digits and Corsi stimuli were randomly mixed. There may be two possible accounts for this decrement: (1) there were many shifts between report-modalities; (2) the relative presentation orders between the modalities were needed. In the present study, two experiments of alternative-recall were carried out in which the shifts between the modalities were maximal. However, there was no big decrement of performance. And the score of the recall of only the order of stimuli modalities was not significantly different from that of the recall according to the temporal order. It suggested that relative presentation order may be the main cause.
