Remembering the recall of cued and uncued words: Effects of initial accessibility.

Abstract
Knowledge of recall of words initially tested with or without cues was investigated in 2 experiments. Subjects (human) were presented with categorized words for immediate free recall and were then cued for recall of the remaining unrecalled categories. In a later recall-recognition test of knowledge of recall, all items were re-presented and subjects required to indicate whether or not they had recalled the words in the initial test. Subjects'' knowledge of recall was better when words were cued initially. More immediate access to words seems to leave less durable records of recall performance in memory.
