Study 2 ------- The protocol for the first study in this Registered Replication Report on the Verbal Overshadowing Effect included a potentially important discrepancy from the original procedure of Study 1 in Schooler & Engstler-Schooler (1990). Specifically, the order of the description task and the crossword puzzle filler task were reversed, meaning that there was a delay between the description phase and the recognition phase in the replication study but not in the original. That ordering mimicked Study 4 of the original paper, which showed a roughly comparable overshadowing effect to the original Study 1. But, some verbal overshadowing studies that included a delay between the description phase and the test phase showed a reduced overshadowing effect. This followup study is designed to verify the size of the verbal overshadowing effect using the original task ordering from Study 1 of Schooler & Engstler-Schooler (1990). It will allow an assessment of the verbal overshadowing effect with the original ordering of Study 1 and will also allow a comparison between studies to determine whether ordering affects the size of the verbal overshadowing effect. The protocol is identical to that of the first RRR study except that the order of the description task and crossword puzzle filler task are reversed. Participants first view the bank robbery video. They then compete the 20-minute crossword puzzle filler task. Next they either describe the bank robber (experimental condition) or name countries and capitals (control condition). Finally, they complete the recognition task. Other than this change in ordering, the protocol for the followup study is identical to that of the first study. With the exception of participant instructions, our laboratory made no changes to the implementation of the design. All participant sample and laboratory conditions will be replicated.
