“…For example, in a case in which participants learn a list of paired associates by using a list of items they had previously learned in a serial recall task, an interitem associative mechanism predicts that the paired-associate list will be learned more rapidly because the interitem associations have already been learned (Young, 1968). However, the evidence for learned-associations transfer has been mixed, with some finding evidence against such transfer (e.g., Jensen, 1962;Young, 1962Young, , 1968) and others finding evidence in favor of transfer (e.g., Crowder, 1968;Mueller & Jablonski, 1973;Slamencka, 1977;Slamencka, Moore, & Carey, 1972).…”

Evidence about memory for order information comes from a number of different methodologies: human cognition, patient studies, neuroimaging studies, and animal lesion and behavioral studies. The present article discusses (a) evidence that order and item memory are separable; (b) proposed mechanisms for order memory (interitem associations, direct codes, hierarchical codes, feature codes, and magnitude codes) and evidence for each; (c) evidence for the neural substrates of order memory from patient, neuroimaging, and animal lesion and single-cell recording studies; (d) barriers to integration between the disciplines; and (e) suggestions for better coordination of efforts between the different disciplines.

42 subjects were assigned to either of three rates of paired-associate presentation after having learned a nine-item serial list. Group I received a 4:4-sec. rate of presentation and Groups II and III 6:6 sec. and 8:8 sec., respectively. Half of the 16 paired associates were words previously learned in the serial list; half were control pairs. Contrary to previous studies, positive transfer was found for the serial-list-derived word pairs. This difference is attributed to the slower rates of presentation which allow the subjects to use a serial search strategy in retrieving contiguous pairs from the serial list. Serial search is viewed as a more parsimonious explanation than the associative one and the present results seem to add some support to the serial search hypothesis. It is also recognized that the subjects' serial search strategy is effective only under certain conditions.
