Influence of Prompting on Free Recall of a Text

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.
