Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to test competing explanations of the levels effect in memory for text. In both experiments subjects read paragraphs in which the height of target propositions was held constant while the amount of target elaboration differed across versions of the paragraphs. Free recall of target propositions differed reliably as a function of elaboration. In addition, Experiment 2 revealed that the free recall results were not due to reading time differences. These findings are interpreted within the framework of the coherence processing explanation of text memory.
