Retrieval cues with more associates lead to lower recall, likely due to sampling processes, not interference. This finding impacts understanding memory retrieval and cue effectiveness in recall tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human Memory Research

Background:

  • Previous research indicates a negative correlation between the number of associates a retrieval cue has and recall performance.
  • Two main hypotheses explain this phenomenon: cross-target interference and cue-associate sampling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of cue set size effects on recall.
  • To differentiate between interference-based and sampling-based explanations for reduced recall with more associates.

Main Methods:

  • Four experiments were conducted manipulating cue set size.
  • Recall levels were measured and analyzed in relation to cue set size and potential cross-target interference.

Main Results:

  • Recall performance was significantly influenced by cue set size.

  • The effect of cue set size on recall was independent of interference from cross-target connections.

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings support a sampling model of memory retrieval.
    • Cue set size effects are attributed to sampling processes involving the intersection of cues, associates, targets, and target associates.
