Three groups of Ss (n= 45) learned and recalled five paired-associate lists which differed in terms of the pair construction procedure: one group constructed pairs for learning, another served as a yoked control for the S-generated pairings and, in the other, pairs were randomly constructed by E.The mixed-list design also included two levels of stimulus imagery. All groups demonstrated decreased recall as the number of lists learned increased; however, the magnitude of proactive inhibition observed was significantly less for Ss who generated their own pairings than for Ss in the remaining two groups. |
