Abstract
Twenty Ss were satiated on a word that was either related or not related to a list of eight nouns. After satiation, the list of eight nouns was presented, followed by immediate recall. Another 20 Ss saw the list first followed by satiation and recall. Satiation time was either 15 or 30 sec. The satiaeffect was found to be significant in the retroactive condition.
