Clustering in free recall as a function of certain methodological variations.

Abstract: 3 experiments involving category clustering in lists composed of highfrequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) associates of the category names are reported, (a) Block presentation augments clustering in both lists and augments word recall in HF but not in LF lists, (b) Word recall and clustering are higher in HF lists than in LF lists, (c) Duration of item-presentation interval augments both clustering and word recall within limits, (d) An immediate recall augments or maintains clustering and word recall on a sec… Show more

“…Intrusions tend to be rare in free recallof lists of nominally unrelated items(see, e.g., Erdelyi, Finks, & Feigen-Pfau, 1989), although they occur regularly in recall of lists of categorically related words (Cofer, 1967;Cofer, Bruce, & Reicher, 1966;Rabinowitz, Mandler, & Patterson, 1977). Intrusions in recall of such lists tend to be items from list-relevant categories.…”

“…plemented by reports of specific memories is consistent with resultsof a variety of laboratory experiments on memory. In experiments in which subjects are asked to recall lists of categorically related words, intrusion rates increase as retention intervals are lengthened (Cofer, 1967;Cofer et al, 1966;Rabinowitzet al, 1977). Similarly, in recall of more complex material, the influence of memory schemas on retrieval increases as retention interval is lengthened: Graesser (1981) proposed that after some amount of time has elapsed following the presentation of to-he-remembered material, virtually nothing specific is remembered, and that after that point, subjects respond entirely on the basis of a relevant schema.…”
