Generalization of serial position in rote serial learning. Hicks, R., Hakes, D., & Young, R. J Exp Psychol, 71(6):916-7, 1966. abstract bibtex Schulz and Ebenholtz have reported that following serial learning recall of the items' serial positions yields a bowed serial-position curve. According to the ordinal-position hypothesis of serial learning, the recall task used required backward, or R-S, recall. To determine if the direction of recall affected the level of recall, this experiment tested recall of items, given position numbers, and recall of position numbers, given items. No difference in overall level of recall was obtained as a function of direction. The serial-position curves for forward and backward recall differed, forward recall being better at the end of the list and backward recall better in the middle.
