Effects
of recall and rehearsal on clustering in free recall

Ninety
junior high school students learned 30 word list composed of 6 categories
of 5 words each. Can the first, the fourth and the sixth trial, all
Ss were given a study-recall task, while on the second, the third
and the fifth trial the Ss in Recall group were given a study-recall
task, the Ss in Rehearsal group a study-rehearsal task and the Ss
in Control group a study task and the neutral task (cancellation
task). Re suits were analyzed in terms of the number of recalled
items and the index of clustering (IC) on the fourth, the sixth trial,
indicating that Rehearsal group was superior to Control group on
either recall or clustering. However Recall group was superior to
Control group on recall, but not on clustering.
