The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of information generation on incidental memory of words. Subjects in the subject-generated group were asked to generate a converging associate of three targets in each triplet. Subjects in the experimenter-provided group were asked to rate the relation between targets and a paired-presented word on 5-point scale. Each subject in both groups were given an unexpected free recall test. Recall performance for targets in each unrelated triplet in the subject-generated group was higher than in the experimenter-provided one. Conditional probability of recalling targets given relational information was an index of effectiveness of within-item elaboration. This index was higher in the subject-generated group. These results were interpreted as showing that the effect of information generation was caused by the effectiveness of within-item elaboration.
本研究旨在调查信息生成对单词偶然记忆的影响。在自我生成组中的受试者被要求为每组三个目标生成一个聚合联想词。在实验者提供组中的受试者被要求用五点量表对目标与一个配对呈现的单词之间的关系进行评分。两组中的每个受试者都接受了一次意外的自由回忆测试。自我生成组中每个不相关三联体中目标的回忆表现高于实验者提供组。给定关系信息时回忆目标的条件概率是项目内精细化有效性的一个指标。这个指标在自我生成组中更高。这些结果被解释为表明信息生成的效果是由项目内精细化的有效性引起的。
