Category-Name Meaningfulness ( M ') and Category-Name Mediation in Free Recall
Karl Hunt · Psychological Reports · 1976
The present experiment evaluated the effectiveness of category-name meaningfulness ( m') along with a category-name mediation model of the free recall of categorized lists. The results showed category-name m' affected separately the detection of the category-name membership of an item and the retrieval of an item during recall. It was also concluded that the mediation model may not be an adequate account of categorized list recall and that a multiple-organization model might be more appropriate.
