Abstract
In a continuous-recognition paradigm, undergraduates were asked whether they had already heard in the series each of the 300 words. The rate of false alarms to semantic associates of prior words depended strongly on the lag between the word and its associate: at no lag, there was absolutely no increase over the general rate; at a greater lag, the false alarms to associates increased; at still greater lags, they returned toward the general rate. This nonmonotonic lag function disconfirms all one-step notions of generalization, including those based on implicit associative responses or on feature overlap, whether activated during study or test, and it suggests several two-step models of forgetting during the lag.
