The Modality Effect: What Happens in Long-Term Memory?

Engle, Randall W.; Mobley, Linda A.

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 15, 5, 519-527, Oct 76

It is predicted that the normal immediate free recall procedure yields a different pattern of results on a delayed test than a condition having immediate recall of each list. (CLK)
