Changing-state irrelevant speech disrupts visual–verbal but not visual–spatial serial recall.

Journal of Experimental Psychology Learning Memory and Cognition, vol. 50, pp. 1772–1790

Abstract

= 128), incorporated a retention period and implemented the task-modality manipulation as a between-participants factor, as per the original Jones et al. (1995; Experiment 4) study. In both experiments, the changing-state effect was observed for visual-verbal serial recall but not for visual-spatial serial recall. The results are consistent with modular and interference-based accounts of distraction and challenge some aspects of functional equivalence accounts.
