| Abstract | Using a short-term recognition memory task we evaluated two potential sources of proactive interference: item information (the characteristics of individual study stimuli) and relational information (the relationships among individual stimuli). On each trial, subjects heard two successive broadband study sounds and then decided whether a subsequently presented probe sound had been in the study set. On some trials, the probe item’s similarity to stimuli presented on the preceding trial was manipulated. This source of proactive interference from item information increased false alarms by about 4%, and was tuned so that only stimuli very similar to each other proactively interfered. On other trials, the relationship among stimuli was manipulated in order to alter the criterion subjects used in making recognition judgments. The effect of this manipulation was confined to the very trial on which the criterion change was generated, and did not affect the subsequent trial. Fitting the data to alternative forms of a summed-similarity memory model confirmed that the manipulation of study item homogeneity affects the subject’s decision criterion, rather than altering the contents of memory per se.
