Sixty Ss were run in two experimental and four control conditions. The task was the recall of a 221-word length story immediately following Ss' reading of the story. The experimental groups were subjected to a 0.2-sec. delayed auditory feedback for the middle section of the story. In addition to the expected decrease in reading rate, the accuracy of recall for the section of the story read under delayed auditory feedback was significantly poorer than the recall of the control groups.
