particular row that they were to attempt to recall. As people became

letters correct; however, as the auditory signal had more time in
between the letters flashing, decay caused many people to forget the
letters and it hurt performance

an auditory beep went ott to tell people which row to look at. It
added another layer to the process by "masking" the first stimulus
with a second stimulus (the beep)
