Abstract
Response strength was manipulated by establishing backward associations on one list of paired associates which would be correct or incorrect for the two halves of a second list. It was expected that, compared with LA Ss, HA Ss would give more correct and fewer overt incorrect responses on the facilitative portion, and more incorrect and fewer correct responses on the interfering portion of the second list. HA Ss gave significantly more overt incorrect responses and tended to give more correct responses on both portions of the second list.Keywords
