Interresponse times in single-trial free recall.

Abstract
Investigated interresponse times in single-trial free recall. Each of 72 undergraduates was given 20 test lists with 20-word lists visually presented at either 60 or 120 words/min. Spoken recall was tape-recorded for off-line analysis. Rate of recall was inversely related to the number of words actually recalled and interresponse times were inversely related to the number of words yet to recall. Evidence suggests that these data could be consonant with a random-sampling model for single-trial free recall. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
