Retrieval of two responses from one visually-presented cue occurs sequentially at the outset of dual-retrieval practice. Exclusively for subjects who adopt a mode of grouping (i.e., synchronizing) their response execution, however, response times after dual-retrieval practice indicate a shift to learned retrieval parallelism. The present proposal aims at specifying the processing architecture of learned retrieval parallelism. This specification is realized in the context of the set-cue bottleneck model. In the context of this model we also look for person-inherent factors that may contribute to synchronized response execution and thus learned retrieval parallelism.
