The scenario for free recall set out in Laming (2009) is developed to provide models for the serial position curves from 5 selected sets of data, for final free recall, and for multitrial free recall. The 5 sets of data reflect the effects of rate of presentation, length of list, delay of recall, and suppression of rehearsal. Each model…

Purpose of this study was to ascertain the efficiency of the first letter mnemonic as a memorization strategy. (Authors)

It was concluded that the retrieval of information from immediate memory is dependent upon the degree of rehearsal of presented information. (Author)

Free recall showed a drop in primacy with practice whereas reconstruction did not, which suggests that temporal tags per se may be relatively unimportant as retrieval cues for the recall of early list members. (Authors)

Results showed that naming latency, for both letters and words, is sensitive to the number of items in the preceding list and also to the serial location of the probe item in the list. (Author)
