Abstract
Presented a study list containing either blocked or randomly distributed instances of a given category to a total of 180 undergraduates in 2 experiments. Ss were then given a recognition test in which the order of items was of varied similarity to the order within the blocked study list. Results indicate that the effect of blocked vs. random presentation tended to be dependent on the order of recognition test items. Blocked presentation enhanced recognition only when test items were grouped on the basis of category membership and the order of old items within a category was the same as it had been in the study list. The role of retrieval in recognition memory is discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
