Preferred term

MMFR procedure  

Definition

  • Subjects are asked to study a first list of A-B pairs of stimuli. They then study a list of A-C pairs. They are subsequently presented with stimulus A and asked to remember both stimuli B and C in any order. The more the A-C list is mastered, the less the B items are recalled and the more the C items are recalled (Barnes and Underwood, 1959). This procedure is designed to eliminate competition between responses B and C at the time of recall.
