Abstract
This experiment examined the role of internal group structure on recall of letter sequences under conditions of variable and constant stimulus input. Internal group structure is defined as the structure contained in each group of letters that results from the spatial grouping of letter sequences and is distinguished from overall stimulus structure, which refers to the structure contained in the intact letter sequence. While constant input led to better recall performance than did variable input when the internal group structure was high, the reverse was true when internal group structure was low. This was a different pattern of results than had been obtained previously with manipulations of external stimulus structure and suggested that internal group structure plays a qualitatively different role than does overall stimulus structure under conditions of variable stimulus input.
