List Length Effect

45 retarded Ss were required to learn serial word lists of three lengths (4, 8, and 12 words). The percentages of errors in the middle half of each list length were compared to test the McCrary-Hunter invariance hypothesis, with list length as the dimension of task difficulty. An analysis of variance revealed a list-length effect that approached, but did not attain, the .05 level of significance. Orthogonal comparisons of the treatment sums, however, revealed a significant linear regression ( P < .05) of error percentages in the middle position as a function of list length. The hypothesis of invariance in relative serial position error was not supported for different lengths of list.

The list-length effect does not discriminate between models of recognition memory

List Length Effect

Prior research using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm has shown that participants are more likely to report the critical lures when long lists are presented. In this experiment, we evaluated two potential explanations for this list-length effect. Ten-year-old children and adults studied 7- or 14-word lists. After recalling each list, participants were then asked to report any other words that they had thought about, but had not reported, during the recall phase. We found that long lists were more likely to activate the critical lure and that short lists did not facilitate source monitoring. On the basis of our findings, we conclude that, for both age groups, the list-length effect was due primarily to list-related differences in activation of the critical lure.
