Abstract
Thirty-nine students constructed linear orderings (e.g., ABCD) from pairwise information (e.g., AB, BC, CD) presented in different orders. Construction took place when only pairwise information was presented, when one additional and irrelevant-to-the-ordering sentence was presented, and when two such additional sentences were presented. The presence of these additional sentences significantly lowered performance, and effects of presentation order were also observed. As predicted, order effects assumed to be due to memory load were differentially influenced by the increased number of presented sentences. Theoretical implications are discussed.
