Abstract
Three studies introduced cuing in a serial recall task by providing some items of a list being tested on the test sheet. Results indicated both enhancement and decrement of item recall for cued vs. noncued recall as a function of the serial positions of the items used as cues. Data are interpreted as inconsistent with position learning hypotheses, mildly supportive of item-item relationship hypotheses, and most consistent with the Estes (1972) model of serial learning.
