Abstract
The S s attempted to remember a minimally rehearsed serial association after attending to a sequence in which items were either ordered at random or repeated according to certain rules. The results indicate that, although a new and unpredictable item may displace an earlier one from primary memory, a recently presented and redundant one does not.
