60 Ss were divided into 3 experimental and 3 control groups. Experimental and control Groups I read a story aloud once. Groups II and III read the story aloud twice and three times respectively. The three experimental groups were subjected to delayed auditory feedback (DAF) for the entire reading. Following the completion of the reading, or readings, an immediate oral recall was obtained. Increased learning trials did not lead to increased memory loss. DAF presentation of connected discourse produces a partial immediate inhibition of memory which is non-additive over repeated exposures.
