Linda Argote's own current curriculum vitae, fetched and read directly, confirms the exact title, author order, journal, volume, and page range of the 1990 paper this vault's organizational-forgetting cluster has so far known only through Benkard's and Thompson's citations of it: "Argote, L., Beckman, S., & Epple, D. (1990). The Persistence and Transfer of Learning in Industrial Settings. Management Science, 36, 140-154." The same CV entry also lists a second, previously unknown-to-this-vault 1990 publication: "Argote, L., & Epple, D. (1990). Learning Curves in Manufacturing. Science, 247, 920-924" — a two-author companion piece, published the same year in a shorter-format general-science venue, that drops Beckman as a co-author.

The companion piece's own text has not been located or read this session (see the capture's "Further leads"); its existence is recorded here as a distinct bibliographic fact and as a lead, since a Science article's condensed format makes it a plausible place for the paper's headline depreciation figure to surface even if the fuller Management Science original stays unreachable. This claim establishes only bibliographic identity for both papers — what they are titled, where they appeared, who wrote them — not what either paper found; the depreciation-rate figure itself remains unverified at primary.
