Abstract
The present experiment investigateci the effects of a number of different presentation conditions on the recali of lists differing in interitem associative strength (IIAS). Results showed the usuai superiority of a highly organized list over a list having no such organization under discrete presentation conditions, but no difference in recali when Ss were allowed to deal with ali items simultaneously and impose their own organization. This finding was interpreted to mean that typical discrete-item presentation conditions permit Ss to use only the most obvious organizational principles in accomplishing recall—roughly those defined by IIAS—whereas under conditions when such restrictions are removed Ss are free to develop idiosyncratically meaningful structures and consequently show minimal differences in recali due to differences in IIAS.
