Abstract
In a prompted-recall task, the deep structure complexity of sentences was varied orthogonally with the imagery value of the prompt word. As predicted by a deep structure analysis, full-passive sentences were recalled better than passive sentences with the agent replaced. In addition, high-imagery prompts were more effective than low-imagery prompts. However, the effects were attenuated by their interaction: Syntax was effective only in the low-imagery condition and there were imagery differences only in the agent-replaced sentences. Thus, mode of memory storage was dictated by the particular syntactic and imagery properties of the sentence.
