Abstract
Conducted 4 experiments with 144 undergraduates to investigate the role of image detail on recall. In all experiments, greater image detail facilitated recall from an uncategorized list. This result was found with 2 different uncategorized lists and held when detail was manipulated both through image size and through capacity limitation. However, no effect of image detail on recall was found for categorized lists used in Exps III-IV. Results are discussed in terms of within- and between-item encoding elaboration, and the effect of these types of elaboration on retrieval strategies is also discussed.
