Abstract
The effects of recall and recognition test expectancies were evaluated as a function of category size and type of memory test. Small categories were better recognized than large categories, and large categories were better recalled than small categories. However, the effects of category size and test expectancy were additive on both recall and recognition tests. In addition, a recall test expectancy led to greater organization in recall and a greater probability of recalling items from recalled categories than a recognition test expectancy. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that a recall test expectancy leads to greater relational and individual-item processing than a recognition test expectancy.
