The unit-sequence interference hypothesis predicts that sequences of high-frequency words should be forgotten faster than equivalent sequences of low-frequency words, because of opportunities for response competition that increase with word frequency. (Authors)

Free recall showed a drop in primacy with practice whereas reconstruction did not, which suggests that temporal tags per se may be relatively unimportant as retrieval cues for the recall of early list members. (Authors)

Five experiments were conducted to explore trial order and retention interval effects upon causal predictive judgments. Experiment 1 found that participants show a strong effect of trial order when a stimulus was sequentially paired with two different outcomes compared to a condition where both outcomes were presented intermixed. Experiment 2…

Results are consistent with the hypothesis that sequential memory is dependent upon the availability of a verbal memory code. (Authors)
