The effects of list-method directed forgetting on recognition memory were explored. In Experiment 1 (N = 40), observers were instructed to remember words and their type-cases; in Experiment 2 (N = 80), the instruction was to remember words and their colours. Two lists of 10 words were presented; after the first list, half of the observers (forget) were instructed to forget that list, and the ot...

Two experiments examined whether or not contextual variation during encoding of a list enhances decontextualization of episodic memory of the list. A total of 86 undergraduates incidentally encoded a list of 24 nouns twice under the same (same-context repetition condition) or different (different-context repetition condition) contexts with a one-week inter-encoding interval. One week after the ...

Three experiments investigated serial position effects in immediate and final free recall. Each word in a 10-item list was both preceded and followed by a 15-sec period of distraction activity. In Experiment 1, half of the lists were immediately followed by either a recall test or a recognition test; the remaining lists were not tested, but were followed by a different distraction activity. Aft...

to evaluate of quantitative and qualitative yield of two basil (ocimum basilicum l.) medicinal plants as affected by planting pattern and plant density, an experiment carried out in factorial arrangement basis on randomized complete block design with three replications. two varieties (green and purple) of basil, two planting patterns (single and double row) and four plant densities (40, 60, 80 ...
