A context-based theory of recency and contiguity in free recall.
The authors present a new model of free recall on the basis of M. W. Howard and M. J. Kahana's temporal context model and M. Usher and J. L. McClelland's leaky-accumulator decision model. In this model, contextual drift gives rise to both short-term and long-term recency effects, and contextual retrieval gives rise to short-term and long-term contiguity effects. Recall decisions are controlled ...
متن کاملAge dissociates recency and lag recency effects in free recall.
The temporal relations among word-list items exert a powerful influence on episodic memory retrieval. Two experiments were conducted with younger and older adults in which the age-related recall deficit was examined by using a decomposition method to the serial position curve, partitioning performance into (a) the probability of first recall, illustrating the recency effect, and (b) the conditi...
متن کاملContiguity is limited in free recall
Does the " law of contiguity " apply to free recall? I find that conditional response probabilities, often used as evidence for contiguity in free recall, have been displayed insufficiently, limiting the distance from the last item recalled, and only averaged over all items. When fully expanding the x-axis and examining the conditional response probabilities separately for the beginning, middle...
متن کاملA spacing account of negative recency in final free recall
The well-known recency effect in immediate free recall reverses when subjects attempt to recall items studied and tested on a series of prior lists, as in the final-free-recall procedure (Craik, 1970). In this case, the last few items on each list are actually remembered less well than are the mid-list items. Because dual-store theories of recall naturally predict negative recency, this phenome...
متن کاملA spacing account of negative recency in final free recall
The prominent recency e↵ect observed in free recall is sharply attenuated when the experiment requires subjects to perform an attentionally demanding distractor task between study and recall. This well-known fact about human memory (e.g., Glanzer & Cunitz, 1966; Postman & Phillips, 1965) has been interpreted as showing that the retrieval cue or memory process that favors recall of recent experi...
