Context retrieval and context change in free recall: Recalling from long-term memory drives list isolation.

Abstract: Three experiments used the "list-before-the-last" free recall paradigm (Shiffrin, 1970) to investigate retrieval for context and the manner in which context changes. This paradigm manipulates target and intervening list lengths to measure the interference from each list, providing a measure of list isolation. Correct target list recall was only affected by the target list length when participants engaged in recall between the lists, whereas there were effects of both list lengths with other activities.

“…This reinstated context will grow to match the target context more and the current context less, thus producing a reversal in false alarms at later signal lags. A contextual reinstatement mechanism has received strong evidentiary support in both free and serial recall (Howard & Kahana, 2002;Jang & Huber, 2008), and has been implicated in recognition as well (Schwartz, Howard, Jing, & Kahana, 2005).…”

“…In a restudy condition, this proactive interference is never released, as participants continue with a restudy phase and then a new learning phase. In a test condition, however, the intervening test provides an opportunity for proactive interference to be released, which could be accomplished by an internal context change from encoding to retrieval (Jang & Huber, 2008;Pastötter et al, 2011). But this release from proactive interference may not be possible when one intermixes retrieval trials with new learning trials, as the intervening task now contains further encoding trials, thus allowing proactive interference to build up.…”

“…To explain these findings, Jang and Huber (2008) proposed that the retrieval trials produced an internal/endogenous context change. The idea behind their explanation is that during no-retrieval trials, context drifts from one list to the next in a gradual fashion, so that the contexts between the two adjacent lists are somewhat similar to each other.…”

“…In addressing these questions, we utilized a variant of the list-before-last paradigm (e.g., Jang & Huber, 2008;Shiffrin, 1970). In this paradigm, participants encode several lists, and after study of each list (except the first), they are told to retrieve not the current, but rather the previous list.…”
