A REANALYSIS OF GENERALITY OF FREE RECALL .I. SUBJECTIVE ORGANIZATION AS AN ABILITY FACTOR

Using Fagan’s revision of Bousfield’s ITR measure as an indication of S’s ability to subjectively organize materials for free recall, previously reported data were reanalyzed. Subjective organization was shown not to be a general individual difference ability factor. Subjective organization did not correlate significantly with free-recall performance for CCCs, though it again correlated with performance on more meaningful materials. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc..
