Immediate
recall as a function of frequency of word usage (count): A replication
R.R. Borude |
Seventy
eight subjects of both sexes in four groups were subjected to a free-immediate
recall test. Each group learned different list of 15 words, the lists
differing in the difficulty level and word frequency. Significant
statistical differences were observed in the means of all the conditions
(p<.01). Some possible interpretations were given. The study was
a replication of Ha11 (1959) study.
