Theoretical model results from versions of the time-based resource sharing model (Barrouillet et al., in press) for working memory capacities of k=1 and k=2, assuming k items can be rehearsed concurrently. The graph shows the number of items recalled from a list when periods of distraction between list items are interpolated with periods of rehearsal, for 3 different rehearsal-to-distraction ratios,. The key point is that both functions are linear as expected in the theory.
