Preferred term

modified free recall procedure  

Definition

  • Method for studying the retroactive interference effect. The subjects learn a first list of A-B pairs, and the first member of each pair is used a cue to retrieve the response associated with it. They then learn a second list of pairs of stimuli A-C, wherein the same cues as in the first list are associated with different responses. At the time of testing, the experimenter presents the cues and subjects are asked to recall the first answer that comes to mind (which may be B, C or an intrusion).
