An experiment was performed to ascertain if there existed a learning process through replication in a simple serial task. Further, it was of interest to investigate the presents of a hysteresis phenomenon with decreasing demand after a channel capacity overload. This study did not support previous conclusions concerning these processes. Specifically, learning through replications did not significantly enhance performance, nor was a hysteresis phenomenon evident. This research did, in some measure, support the psychological activation theory. 2012-11-13T23:58:43Z 2012-11-13T23:58:43Z 1974-09 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/16982 en_US This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
