Abstract

In a previous study by Engelkamp, cued recall of performed verb pairs was shown to be poorer than free recall of the same word pairs. For visually encoded verb pairs and for noun pairs, cued recall gave higher scores than free recall. This interaction between test types and encoding interactions was taken as support for the theory that motormemory representations differ from visual memory representations. With some modifications, the present experiment is an extension of one of Engelkamp's experiments. The subjects were given instructions that emphasized, more than those of Engelkamp, the integration aspect, and a further condition enacting noun pairs was added. Several parallel observations were made, but the crucial interaction between tests and encoding conditions was not replicated. The results are interpreted in terms of a problem-solving analysis.
