This study examined the differential effects of an absolute versus a relative judgment task on the retrieval of the border-position items after the combining of two separate serial lists. Under the absolute judgment condition (Experiment 1), the border-position items showed a local distinctiveness effect (faster judgment on these items than on the neighboring items), consistent with the prediction of the local distinctiveness theory of order memory, but not under the relative judgment condition (Experiment 2). The absence of the local distinctiveness effect under the relative judgment condition was consistent with the prediction of the global distinctiveness theory that a midseries item cannot be remembered better than its neighbors. The causes of the differential effects of the two judgment tasks were discussed.
本研究考察了在将两个独立的序列列表组合后，绝对判断任务与相对判断任务对边界位置项目检索的差异影响。在绝对判断条件下（实验 1），边界位置项目表现出局部独特性效应（这些项目的判断速度比相邻项目快），与顺序记忆的局部独特性理论的预测一致，但在相对判断条件下则不然（实验 2）。在相对判断条件下不存在局部独特性效应，这与全局独特性理论的预测一致，即中间序列项目不能比其相邻项目更好地被记住。讨论了这两种判断任务的差异影响的原因。
