2 groups of 10 college students read prose material aloud into a microphone; one group received delayed auditory feedback. The accuracy of written recalls obtained 24 hr. later was superior for the control group (P < .05). This fails to confirm a hypothesis offered by King and Dodge and suggested by Walker's action decrement theory.
