Abstract
Investigated the relationship between category recall and within-category recall in whole- and part-list recall conditions using 93 undergraduates. On the basis of poststimulus cuing, Ss were required to recall from all the categories or from a randomly selected single category of the categorized word list. Within-category recall was compared for whole- and part-list conditions. Results of the 2 experiments show that partial recall produced greater within-category recall. Exp. II extended the generality of the partial recall effect in a situation controlling for nominal recall time. The partial recall effect (a) was limited to the 1st category cued, and (b) occurred with categorically blocked input and not with random word input. Results indicate the importance of retrieval factors in recall as well as suggesting a method which may be useful in studying within-category recall. (16 ref.)
