An assessment of the attention demands during random- and blocked-practice schedules
Article Abstract:
The level of attention and cognitive processing involved in practicing motor tasks are dependent on the amount of contextual interference in the practice environments. In a random-practice environment, where several tasks are practiced together, high contextual interference results in poorer acquisition performance, but improved retention when compared to repetitive practice.

Concurrent and retroactive interference effects in memory of movement patterns
Article Abstract:
This article uses selective interference manipulations during visuo-spatial tasks to investigate the role of motor processes in remembering observed and enacted movements. Findings indicate that motor mechanisms do not significantly influence memories related to movement patterns.

Implicit and explicit memory in pregnant women: an analyis of data-driven and conceptually driven processes
Article Abstract:
A series of data-driven and conceptually driven memory tests were used to investigate the quality of implicit memory in pregnant women. The results were unable to demonstrate any memory deficiencies specific to pregnant women.
