Abstract
The present study was designed to clarify the retrieval process in Long-Term Memory by free emission method. Subjects were requested to recall as many female names ending with “ko” or flower names as possible. All of the recalled items were classified into two classes according to the subject's introspective reports after the recall: One consisted of within-unit items (WUI) which were recalled with some subjectively related cues and the other for extra-unit items (EUI) which were recalled without them. The mean inter-response time (MIRT) for WUI was shorter than that for EUI and nearly constant through the recall session, while MIRT for EUI increased rapidly as a function of the recall time. It was suggested that there might be some specific memory process based on subjectively related cues.
