In immediate serial recall, it is well established that performance is influenced by lexical factors such as imageability and word frequency. However, when participants are asked to recall the to-be-remembered items in their reverse order, known as backward recall, lexical factors produced contradictory findings. In 4 experiments, we tested the role of response modality in modulating the effects of imageability and word frequency in backward recall. The magnitude of the 2 tested lexical factors was only slightly reduced in backward compared with forward recall when participants responded manually. Critically, when participants recalled words orally, the magnitude of the lexical factors was severely reduced in backward recall. It is concluded that response modality has a strong influence on the memory processes involved in backward recall. (PsycINFO Database Record
在即时系列回忆中，有充分证据表明，表现会受到诸如形象性和词频等词汇因素的影响。然而，当要求参与者按相反顺序回忆要记住的项目（即逆向回忆）时，词汇因素产生了相互矛盾的结果。在4项实验中，我们测试了反应方式在调节逆向回忆中形象性和词频效应方面的作用。当参与者手动反应时，与正向回忆相比，逆向回忆中两个被测试的词汇因素的影响只是略有降低。至关重要的是，当参与者口头回忆单词时，逆向回忆中词汇因素的影响大幅降低。研究得出结论，反应方式对逆向回忆所涉及的记忆过程有很大影响。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》
