Abstract

48 adults judged the similarity of word-pairs with (Intentional) and without (Incidental) knowledge that recall would follow. Pairs were typed next to each other (Simultaneous), or S turned a card to see the second member (Delayed). The list was composed of synonyms paired together (Synonymity), paired with themselves (Repeated), or paired with Unrelated list members. Recall for the Intentional Group was better clustered but not higher than for the Incidental Group. The Delayed Group recalled fewer words than the Simultaneous Group. Repeated and Unrelated pairings did not differ, and they produced lower recall than Synonymity pairings.
