Single List

Effects of variation in category size upon retroactive inhibition under cued-recall conditions were examined. Category size was a within-subject variable (4, 8, or 16 items/category) in a design involving 72 subjects. For 36 subjects a second list of dissimilar categories was learned. Retroactive inhibition was observed relative to the single-list control, with retroactive inhibition being of greater magnitude for larger categories. The retroactive inhibition resulted from fewer words per category recalled rather than from a decrement in category recall since category recall was uniformly high, i.e., constant, under all conditions.

Definition Of

This article offers a definition of involvement based on a spreading activation model of human memory processing. Involvement is viewed as the spread of activation through working and long-term memory. Topics resulting in more extensive and/or stronger activation result in higher involvement. As a first test of the definition offered, an experiment was conducted to explore the effects of involvement and limited prior knowledge on cued recall and recognition memory for elements of persuasive messages common in investor relations. Evidence from the measurement of reaction time for recognition supported the model. Theoretical and practical implications of the differences in the effects of prior knowledge and involvement on different types of memory performance are discussed.

The list-length effect occurs in cued recall with the retroactive design but not the proactive design.
