The free recall measure is one of the most popular measures in memory research. Using this measure, researchers can assess not only the amount of recall but also the strategy participants used to recall the material. Category clustering is a strategy participants often use when the input list is categorized. Unfortunately, computing category clustering measures is laborious. The present paper introduces a calculator that computes these measures for each participant using a platform that is accessible to most researchers in an attempt to make these measures more user-friendly.
自由回忆测量是记忆研究中最常用的测量方法之一。使用这种测量方法,研究人员不仅可以评估回忆的数量,还可以评估参与者用于回忆材料的策略。类别聚类是参与者在输入列表被分类时经常使用的一种策略。不幸的是,计算类别聚类测量很费力。本文介绍了一种计算器,它使用大多数研究人员都可以访问的平台为每个参与者计算这些测量值,以使这些测量方法更便于用户使用。
