Abstract
The retention of sentences of 5,7,9,11, and 13 words in length was tested by a cued recall procedure. Retention did not decline uniformly as a function of length, the only major change in recall performance occurring between sentences of 7 words and shorter and 9 words and longer. Differential recallability of verbs and logical objects was also found, and some implications of these results are discussed.
