Abstract

An 18-word list was constructed so that each word belonged to both a semantically related category and an acoustically related category. The list was presented, either orally or visually, in a multitrial free-recall task. The results from 40 Ss showed that the organization of recall was dominated by the acoustic properties of the words.
