Abstract
100 undergraduates learned lists of high- or low-imagery nouns arranged in one column (ungrouped) or in three columns (grouped). Grouped-list recall was significantly greater than ungrouped on the third and fourth trials. This effect was independent of level of imagery. Spatial grouping seems to provide important cues which are independent of the words learned.Keywords
