Tóm tắt

An experiment was conducted to investigate whether the presence of previously recalled items in a recognition test affected Ss’ efficiency in discriminating items they had previously failed to recall. Two different tests of recognition were given to both groups of Ss after they had attempted free recall. Inclusion of recalled items in the first test significantly impaired overall recognition scores as compared with their inclusion in the second test only.
