While there was no retro-cue effect on reaction time in Experiment 2a with a memory load of three items, there was an effect when the retro-cue was presented earlier (Exp3a). Compared to Experiment 1 and 2b with a memory load of two items, when the retro-cue was presented later (Exp3b), the retro-cue effect on reaction time was not attenuated. Because the total time between study and test remained constant between Experiment 2 and 3, the presence of the reaction time effect in Exp 3a supports the hypothesis that representations in working memory must be above a strength threshold for the retro-cue to have an effect.
