This experiment investigated the possibility of a post-integration mechanism in recall, i.e., whether later occurring items could organize or influence the recall of prior items. Assuming that the noun (in the final position) is the major organizing element in a noun phrase, it was predicted that prior modifiers would be better recalled if the phrase ended with a noun than if the noun was replaced by an adjective, in one condition, or a preposition or conjunction, in another condition. The over-all results supported the hypothesis. Further, no significant difference was found between the latter two conditions. The results were considered favorable to a post-integration interpretation.
