Abstract
The hypothesis that successive recall (SRC) facilitates recall was tested in an A-B, A-C paradigm using 10 trials of paced MMFR after two retention intervals (0 and 24 h). SRC MMFR groups were compared to conventional unpaced MMFR groups and single list controls. Recall tended to increase over SRC trials but terminal performance did not differ from unpaced MMFR.
