The purpose of this research was to determine the retroactive interference effects of a single interpolated task (i.e., one temporal duration) on the retention of a criterion duration. This research is of interest because the mnemonic structure of temporal information of different durations is uncertain. Previous research has indicated that there might be a difference in structure for durations of 1 and 4 sec., although the results are inconsistent. Thus, two criterion durations of 1 and 4 sec. and five interpolated durations (i.e., 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, and 140% of the duration of the criterion) were utilized under the method of reproduction. In addition, subjects were instructed to use either a counting strategy or none (referred to as conscious time estimation) to facilitate the retention of the temporal information. Recall was less variable when using a counting strategy than not and when estimating 1 sec. than 4 sec. However, there was no effect of interpolated activity when comparing performance across different interpolated conditions (no interpolated activity). Apparently, one interpolated duration is not sufficient to produce structural interference with a single criterion duration.
本研究的目的是确定单个插入任务（即一个时间持续时间）对标准持续时间保持的 retroactive 干扰效应。这项研究之所以有趣，是因为不同持续时间的时间信息的记忆结构尚不确定。先前的研究表明，1秒和4秒的持续时间在结构上可能存在差异，尽管结果并不一致。因此，在再现法下，使用了1秒和4秒这两个标准持续时间以及五个插入持续时间（即标准持续时间的60%、80%、100%、120%和140%）。此外，受试者被指示使用计数策略或不使用（称为有意识的时间估计）来促进时间信息的保持。使用计数策略时的回忆比不使用时更稳定，估计1秒时比估计4秒时更稳定。然而，在比较不同插入条件（无插入活动）下的表现时，插入活动没有影响。显然，一个插入持续时间不足以对单个标准持续时间产生结构干扰。 注：“retroactive”常见释义为“追溯的； retroactive 干扰效应”这里可能是特定领域术语，暂保留英文未翻译准确。
