Encoding-variability theory presumes that there is greater encoding variability when repetitions are spaced than when they are massed and that encoding variability is positively related to both recall and apparent frequency. The first presumption was tested by assessing variability in associations to items that were repeated under conditions of either massed or spaced repetition. The validity of the presumption was called into question by a finding of more associations to massed than to spaced repetitions. Findings for recall and apparent-frequency measures administered after the word-association cover task were congruent with findings from prior studies of spacing effects. Hence, there is no reason to think that memory processes accompanying the word-association task differ from memory processes occurring with cover tasks typically used in studies of spacing effects.
