Part-set cuing in incidental and implicit memory

Z F Peynircioğlu¹, C Moro

¹American University.

The American Journal of Psychology

|January 1, 1995

Summary

Part-set cuing, where some studied items are re-presented, inhibits memory performance. This effect occurs even in incidental memory tasks and depends on the deliberate effort to recall during the test phase, not study conditions.

Area of Science:

Cognitive Psychology
Memory Research

Background:

Part-set cuing is a phenomenon where presenting a subset of studied items during retrieval impairs recall of the remaining items.
Previous research has explored factors influencing part-set cuing, with less clarity on its independence from study conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the inhibitory effects of part-set cuing in an incidental memory task.
To determine the influence of study phase expectations and deliberate retrieval effort on part-set cuing effects.

Main Methods:

Three experiments were conducted using an incidental memory task.
Part-set cuing was manipulated by re-presenting study words or related words during the test phase.
Memory performance was assessed through word recall and fragment completion tasks.

Main Results:

Re-presentation of study words or related words during testing consistently inhibited memory performance.
Inhibitory effects were observed even when participants did not anticipate a memory test during study.
Part-set cuing effects were contingent on deliberate recall effort during testing, not study conditions.

Conclusions:

The part-set cuing effect is largely independent of the study phase.
Deliberate effort to remember during the test phase is crucial for observing inhibitory part-set cuing effects.
Incidental memory tasks can reveal robust part-set cuing phenomena.
