Registered replication report: Schooler and Engstler-Schooler
A multi-laboratory registered replication of the verbal overshadowing effect. Describing a robber's face made people less likely to identify him: by 4 per cent in one version and 16 per cent when a 20-minute delay was added, against 25 per cent in the original. The authors judged the effect robust and strongly influenced by timing.
