Encoding seen movement of another human body requires visuo-spatial processing, and recall involves motor activity. However, encoding whole body movement patterns is affected differently by patterned and spatial secondary tasks, and this difference is reversed for encoding of spatial targets for movement (Smyth, Pearson, & Pendleton, 1988). The experiments reported here investigate the rehearsal of such movement patterns and their recall over unfilled and filled intervals. Performing, watching, or encoding a sequence of spatial positions while carrying a memory load of movement patterns did not affect recall of those movements, whereas performing, watching, or encoding a further set of patterned movements reduced the number recalled from the original set. However, memory for a series of locations in space was not affected by watching patterned movements during the interval, and only order information was affected by watching movement to a series of spatial locations during the interval. The results are discussed in terms of the independence of rehearsal mechanisms for spatial sequencing and movement patterns.
对他人身体可见运动进行编码需要视觉空间处理，而回忆则涉及运动活动。然而，有模式的和空间性的次要任务对全身运动模式编码的影响不同，而这种差异在对运动空间目标进行编码时则相反（史密斯、皮尔逊和彭德尔顿，1988年）。此处报告的实验研究了此类运动模式在未填充和填充间隔期间的复述及其回忆情况。在承载运动模式记忆负荷的同时执行、观看或编码一系列空间位置，并不会影响对这些运动的回忆，而执行、观看或编码另一组有模式的运动则会减少从原始组中回忆出的数量。然而，对一系列空间位置的记忆在间隔期间不受观看有模式运动的影响，并且只有顺序信息在间隔期间受观看向一系列空间位置的运动的影响。将根据空间序列和运动模式复述机制的独立性来讨论这些结果。
