Interaction Effects of Synonymity, Intralist Synonym Cohesiveness, and List Length in Multi-Trial Free Recall
In each of three experiments, different lists of synonymous and minimally related adjectives were presented to groups of subjects for multi-trial free recall. The results in Exp. 1 supported the hypothesized interaction of synonymity and list length on recall and organization, predicting impaired performance on long lists of synonyms. Two partial replications (Exps. 2 and 3) obtained negative results. In Exp. 4 five measures of semantic cohesiven…
Measure of Proportional Non-Chance Clustering in Free Recall
A new ratio of category clustering ( CL T ) is presented which, unlike earlier measures, uses an unconfounded estimate of the number of non-chance repetitions occurring in free recall sequences. The measure permits the assessment of clustering of individual categories independently of clustering of the other categories and yields additional statistics which cannot be accurately measured by existing methods. Computer-generated data scored accordin…
Methods for Compiling Lists of Minimally Related Words
3 procedures for selecting lists of unrelated words were evaluated in two experiments. The procedures were based on (a) Deese's (1959) normatively established “Zero” interitem associative strength, (b) the consensual judgment of several Es, and (c) random selection from a dictionary. Judged by recall criteria, all these methods were equally appropriate, random selection being least laborious. However, considerable intra-method variability in list…
Clustering and Sequential Ordering in Multitrial Free Recall as a Function of Meaningfulness
A 15-item CVC list representing 3 categories of meaningfulness (M), High, Medium and Low, was learned for 16 alternating presentation-free-recall trials under conditions of either Immediate (I), or Delayed (D) recall. In the D Condition, a 30-sec. task-filled interval preceded each recall trial. Substantial organization in recall showing both M clustering and sequential ordering occurred primarily in the D Condition. Recall was higher and more st…
Multitrial Free Recall and Sequential Ordering of Items Having High Variance of Meaningfulness
Two matched lists of 10 CVCs of high variance in meaningfulness ( M ) were presented to S s for 21 input-output trials of MTFR. While the lists elicited differing recall and sequential ordering, ITR, other analyses indicated consistencies in the two sets of data. Thus item-pairs, ITR-units, ordered in recall tended to have similar M -values. Furthermore, the tendency of individual items to serve as anchor points for individual ITR-units was posit…
An Analysis of Interference in Continuous Association within Multiple Categories
Ss named items from 3 conceptually unrelated word categories for 18 min. under two conditions. In the concurrent, Con ( N = 53), all categories were shown simultaneously and Ss allowed to shift from category to category at will. In the sequential, Seq ( N = 52), the separate categories were presented in succession for 6 min. each. The Seq emissions for corresponding 30-sec. periods in each category were aggregated into successive 90-sec. periods …
