This experiment attempted to obtain an estimate of perceptual isolation effects when the isolated item was the only distinctive feature in the list and to obtain data on continuous serial learning in order that isolation and serial-position effects could be compared directly. (Author/RK)

The present study was designed to investigate the manner in and the extent to which a subject's experience with the position of items influences the strength of interitem associations as they are measured by intralist intrusions, by the association method, and by transfer effects on paired-associate performance.

Two experiments investigated serial recall with eight-word lists in which the frequency rating of the terminal word was manipulated. The effect on recall of two kinds of verbal "stimulus suffix" as well as a control noise suffix was also tested. Recall for the terminal items in the lists was analyzed. (Editor)
