Abstract
Describes a series of experiments which show that motor performance suffers when responses in a repeated sequence have variable rather than fixed paramenter mappings. Speech production, keyboard performance and violin playing produce similar effects. This is consistent with the view that motor programmes for forthcoming actions are prepared by editing motor programmes for actions that have just been completed. Because these results are similar to interference effects in traditional memory studies, suggests that similar mechanisms underlie storage and retrieval of motor responses and symbolic materials.
