E. L. Walker's (1958, Psychological Review, 65, 129-142) action decrement theory predicts that an increase in arousal impairs memory performance on an immediate test, but an improved performance should be obtained on a delayed test (i.e., an interaction between arousal and retention interval). Our alternative hypothesis is that, as a function of expecting either an immediate or a delayed test, the subject's processing intensities will vary with arousal (i.e., an interaction between arousal and expectation). In two experiments, arousal was assessed by measuring neuroticism and introversion. While no interaction between arousal and retention interval was obtained, a reliable interaction between expectancy and neuroticism emerged in the two experiments, thus confirming our hypothesis. In particular, neuroticism improves memory performance considerably when a delayed test is expected.
