| Summary: | This thesis has examined the relationship between recognition tasks and recall tasks, more specifically, the superiority of recognition over recall. Although this supperiority was still found to exist, evidence suggested that as discriminability among alternatives in the recognition task decreased, the superiority of recognition, over recall also decreased. Also investigated was the effect recognition and recall have on one another. It was found that recognition enhanced the ensuing recalls however, evidence suggested that as discriminability among alternatives in the recognition task became more difficult, performance on subsequent recall decreased. |
