Recognition failure of recallable words: free and cued recall compared

• Tested 72 Swedish students (aged 17-21 yrs), assigned to 1 of 6 conditions, to examine whether the phenomenon of recognition failure of recallable words could be demonstrated when a free recall (FR) test rather than a cued recall (CRL) test was used. Ss were instructed that a recognition test, a CRL test, or an FR test would follow the study trial, but the actual test sequence given was recognition followed by CRL or recognition followed by FR. Results demonstrate that cases of recognition failure of recallable words occurred in all 6 conditions, but the amount of recognition failure for the recognition-FR test sequence was less than that predicted from the function of E. Tulving and S. Wiseman (see record 1978-07206-001). Data for the recognition-CRL test sequence showed the amount of recognition failure that was predicted by this function.
