Immediately after visual presentation, subjects were required to recall 6-letter sequences. Sequences were drawn from four vocabularies. There were two 3-letter vocabularies, distinguished by the probability of acoustic confusion within them, and two 9-letter vocabularies similarly distinguished. Memory span is shown to be effectively independent of information per item, and to depend substantially on the probability of acoustic confusion within vocabularies
