Abstract
The list-strength effect arises when increasing the strength of some items in a list reduces memory for the remaining items. Here the list-strength effect was investigated under conditions of rapid visual presentation. Randomized and blocked formats were used for the mixed lists. Performance was measured with both yes-no and forced-choice recognition procedures. Overall no evidence for a list-strength effect in recognition was found except under conditions that may promote reverse rehearsal borrowing. Two experiments were conducted to determine why performance on the yes-no tests was greater than on the forced-choice tests.
