Contiguity 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 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 کاملInterpreting semantic clustering effects in free recall.
The order in which participants choose to recall words from a studied list of randomly selected words provides insights into how memories of the words are represented, organised, and retrieved. One pervasive finding is that when a pair of semantically related words (e.g., "cat" and "dog") is embedded in the studied list, the related words are often recalled successively. This tendency to succes...
متن کاملRandom-walk modeling of free-recall anomalies - Part 1: Contiguity and inter-response intervals
A comparison of three different experimental datasets leads to the identification of an apparently robust feature of free-recall data: a minimum in the rate of contiguous recall near the beginning of the recall process. By simulating verbal retrieval as a homogenous Markov chain with the experimentally observed transition matrix, I show that this behavior cannot be explained in terms of the non...
متن کاملEffect of hypnotic time distortion upon free-recall learning.
An attempt is made, using hypnosis to modify the perception of the passage of clock time, to alter the amount of effective time available to subjects for free-recall learning. If effective time is manipulated successfully by the instructions designed to produce time distortion, subjects receiving hypnotic time distortion instructions designed to stretch 3 minutes into 10 should perform as well ...
