Abstract
Hypothesized that the relationship between word imagery (I) and free recall would be diminished in lists containing verbally based internal structure. 3 groups of 30 undergraduates each received 3 different word lists for 4 free recall trials. Each list contained an equal number of high- and low-I words. In 1 list, no attempt was made to build in any interword relationships. The 2nd list contained pairs of associatively related words, while the 3rd list contained word pairs which were associatively related and shared membership in common conceptual categories. As predicted, the advantage of high-I over low-I words in amount recalled decreased as the degree of list structure increased. (16 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
