Set size and order requirements in immediate memory.
Three types of order requirements in the immediate recall of number sequences were investigated in two experiments. Experiment I examined written recall and Experiment II spoken recall. Natural serial recall was found to be superior to same order and free recall (a) in Experiment I because repeated correct intrusions were reduced, and (b) in Experiment II because more responses were produced. Implications for the analysis of mnemonic devices were briefly introduced.
