Digram structure is a determinant of immediate memory for consonant lists. Its effects might operate either before or after recall is required, or both. If digram frequency affects the way sequences are stored, a distracting task may have unequal effects on lists containing digrams of high and low frequency. Two experiments were carried out, which produced evidence suggesting that digram frequency influences the way in which sequences are stored prior to recall being required. When letter sequences were presented between presentation and recall of consonant lists consisting of medium-frequency digrams, recall of the latter was positively related to the digram frequency of the interfering sequences.
