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.
