Sense et al. (2016) conducted an experiment using distinctly-coloured squares with a suppression condition and a silent condition. From their results, they concluded that, while some research shows an effect from suppression; it does not imply that it always occurs, or that articulatory suppression is particularly beneficial for all types of stimuli. This resolution is supported by other research such as Larson & Baddeley 2003, who surmised that subjects avoid subvocal rehearsal for difficult to rehearse stimuli on mental tasks. Further, research by Morey & Cowan (2005) indicated that an articulatory suppression task has no effect on visual array task
