Abstract
The present study was designed to examine the adequacy of dual coding hypothesis as an explanatory scheme for free recall in sentence memory and to explore the effects of imagery in STM and LTM. Two measures of recall (overall recall performance and recall frequency of elements of sentences) were considered in initial free recall (IFR) and final free recall (FFR) paradigms. Results were as follows: 1) Concrete sentences were recalled better than abstract sentences except the terminal sentence in IFR. 2) As to concrete sentences, “all-or-none” recall of the three elements (subject+object+predicate) was observed. However, such trend was not found in abstract sentences. The results were interpreted as suggesting that dual coding hypothesis was confirmable in sentence memory also and that imagery was more effective in LTM.
