Pre-recall warming-up in verbal retention.

Abstract
Two experiments were designed to study the effect of variation of warming-up (color-naming) task upon the retention of verbal paired associates. In the first experiment 15 paired associates were learned followed by 10 relearning trials 24 hours later. 9 out of 10 groups named colors prior to the relearning trials. In the second experiment, new groups A, B, and C learned the same word list as in experiment I, and relearned them 24 hours later. Groups A and B named colors prior to the relearning at the same rate of the original learning. The results of both experiments show no evidence for pre-recall warming up.
