Abstract
An investigation was conducted to ascertain the influence of the duration of the time interval between successive repetitions repititions of a discrete motor movement in a short term motor memory paradigm. With one repetition a long interval increased error relative to a short interval. The opposite was true for 7 repetitions; a long interval improved accuracy. The results were discussed in terms of the 'trace shrinkage' hypothesis and compared with those from similar studies using verbal responses.
