Description
Summary:This experiment was conducted to investigate false recognitions of implicit associative responses (IARs) which were assumed both from associations learned in the laboratory and from free-association norms. The study was also designed to observe the effects of natural-language and laboratory-learned IARs across a 24-hr retention interval and to measure differential forgetting of high- and low-meaningful items as a function of extra experimental interference. The false recognition effect for the laboratory-learned associations was observed only for groups having a 24-hr interval between learning of PA associations and the presentation of items to be recalled. The predicted increase in IARs across 24 hr was observed but no evidence for differential extra experimental interference as a function of meaningfulness was found.
