Abstract
2 experiments, using paired adjectives, examined the effect of successive recall trials (SRC) that occurred immediately after OL on retention. Retention was measured after 0-, 24-, and 48-hr. retention intervals. The first experiment varied SRC trials (0 vs 10) following OL, and retention interval (0 vs 24 hr.). Exp. II extended the first by increasing the amount of post-OL SRC (0, 10, and 20 trials) and by increasing the retention interval (24 vs 48 hr.). Both experiments measured retention over 10 SRC trials. Correct recall was facilitated by post-OL SRC and increased during SRC trials after 24- and 48-hr. retention intervals. The results suggest that both associative and warm-up processes operate during SRC.Keywords
