Interpreting semantic clustering effects in free recall.
The order in which participants choose to recall words from a studied list of randomly selected words provides insights into how memories of the words are represented, organised, and retrieved. One pervasive finding is that when a pair of semantically related words (e.g., "cat" and "dog") is embedded in the studied list, the related words are often recalled successively. This tendency to succes...
متن کاملA theory of interpretive clustering in free recall
The existence of a polysemy effect in episodic memory is demonstrated through an analysis of data from the experiments of Lohnas et al. (2015) and Healey and Kahana (2016). Three word-length related features are reported: (1) the average distance between the serial positions of consecutively recalled words is an increasing function of the second word’s length; (2) the recall of words in the ord...
متن کاملRecall termination in free recall.
Although much is known about the dynamics of memory search in the free recall task, relatively little is known about the factors related to recall termination. Reanalyzing individual trial data from 14 prior studies (1,079 participants in 28,015 trials) and defining termination as occurring when a final response is followed by a long nonresponse interval, we observed that termination probabilit...
متن کاملEffects of number of study environments and learning instructions on free-recall clustering and accuracy
Three word lists were presented to subjects in a single room or in three rooms, and a free-recall test on all three lists was given in a new environmental context. Multiple learning environments improved recall and clustering for subjects given instructions to memorize the words, but improvements did not materialize for those told to construct and remember stories with the words , and for those...
متن کاملEffects of adult aging on utilization of temporal and semantic associations during free and serial recall.
Older adults show poorer performance than young adults at word list recall, especially for order information. In contrast with this temporal association deficit, older adults are generally adept at using preexisting semantic associations, when present, to aid recall. We compared the use of temporal and semantic associations in young and older adults' word list recall following both free recall ...
