Abstract
Prior to the presentation of a particular "critical" pair in each of 24 lists, 1/2 of the Ss (N = 12) performing a running paired-associate task were cued to forget items presented before the cue, while remaining Ss did not receive the cue. The storage load at the recall point of the critical pair was 3, 4, or 5. The cued Ss recalled more critical items correctly than did Ss who did not receive the cue, indicating that the level of storage load can be reduced on signal.
