A short-term memory experiment is reported in which S attempted to recall trigrams after a retention interval of 3 to 18 sec.; a subtraction task was performed by S during this interval. As with the similar study of Peterson and Peterson (1959), evidence was found that the probability of correct response declines during the retention interval (though to a lesser extent than previously reported). However, it is shown that the shape of the retention function is greatly changed by the method adopted for scoring the data; under the appropriate system of scoring, retention of unrehearsed items in STM is quite high
