The present study attempted a modified replication of Bower, et al.'s 1978 finding of affective state-dependent retrieval. It is argued that Bower's finding confounds two theoretically distinct effects, pure affective state-dependent retrieval and an interference effect. Using the Velten mood induction and an interference list learning task over 24- to 48-hr. intervals, it was impossible to replicate Bower's finding. Considering the difficulty of reproducing affective state-dependent retrieval in many laboratories, one must exercise caution in drawing conclusions about its generalizability
