Subjects studied a text comprising a series of independent paragraphs for future recall. At the onset of recall, a varying number of retrieval cues were presented. In addition, the subjects were instructed to reproduce the cued paragraphs either as completely as possible or using a few words only. Neither the proportion of uncued paragraphs recalled afterwards nor their extendedness appeared to be affected by previous cued recall. Within the limits of the present experiments, text recall apparently was not hampered by output interference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
