Two paragraph structures, linear orderings (Potts, 1972) and set inclusions (Frase, 1969), were equated on relevant independent variables to examine recognition memory for relationships between pairs of terms. Experiment 1 replicated Potts' findings: Proportion correct was greater on remote than on adjacent linear pairs. For set pairs, however, there was an interaction between remoteness and truth, giving better performance on remote false and adjacent true pairs. It was suggested that the memory representation (schema) for linear structure was predicted by Potts' end-term anchoring and rating-scale strategies, while set structure performance reflected logical errors in processing. Experiment 2, an "open book" test, confirmed this view: In the nonmemory task, there was no evidence of schema formation for linear structure, whereas set performance still merely reflected logical errors in processing.
两段式结构，线性排序（Potts，1972）和集合包含（Frase，1969），在相关的独立变量上进行了等同化，以检验对两个术语之间关系的识别记忆。实验 1 复制了 Potts 的发现：远程线性对的正确比例大于相邻线性对。然而，对于集合对，距离和真实性之间存在交互作用，远程错误和相邻真实对的表现更好。有人认为，线性结构的记忆表示（模式）由 Potts 的末端锚定和评分策略预测，而集合结构的表现反映了处理中的逻辑错误。实验 2，一个“开卷”测试，证实了这一观点：在非记忆任务中，线性结构没有模式形成的证据，而集合表现仍然仅仅反映了处理中的逻辑错误。
