Abstract
In a number of studies, it has been reported that the negative effect of part-set cues on recall disappears when a second recall test is administered without cues. The present experiments show that the removal of cues does not significantly increase the recall of new items on a second test over that obtained in two successive tests without cues, or in two successive tests with cues. The part-set cuing effect does not appear to be reversible by retesting without cues.
