Paired-associate recall was investigated in fast-rate dichotic listening. The 72 Ss listened to 24 trials composed of six pairs of words presented simultaneously at 1 pr./1/2 sec. After each trial S was given a word and instructed to report the one paired simultaneously with it in presentation. A very low level of recall was obtained. The results, taken in combination with slow-rate findings, are in line with a model that hypothesizes sequential processing of simultaneous stimuli.
