Abstract
Summary Stimulus selection in the A-B, A-C paradigm was examined in a mixed-list design. Half of the pairs in the A-B list were followed by A-C pairs which used the same stimulus element selection strategy, while the other half were followed by A-C pairs with a different selection strategy. These within-list manipulations occurred for four groups formed by the factorial combination of interpolated activity (work or rest) and meaningfulness of stimulus terms (high or low). Following the interpolated learning, Ss received a cued recall test. The rest groups showed no differences in recall; in the work groups, stimulus meaningfulness had no reliable effect, but stimulus selection strategies did. Of particular interest was the fact that keeping the same stimulus selection strategy across both lists led to poorer recall than using a different one.
