To assess further the effectiveness of bizarre imagery, undergraduates were exposed to a variety of paired-associate, stimulus contexts (unmixed normal, unmixed bizarre, and mixed) and then were tested at one of three retention intervals (0, 3, or 5 days). Consistent with our earlier findings, elements within the mixed context were recalled the best at both the 0- and 3-day intervals. Interestingly, the unmixed bizarre items improved performance as much as mixed ones when testing occurred at 5 days, suggesting that bizarre-only elements needed sufficient time to develop their distinctive memory traces.

Previous research has demonstrated quite conclusively that bizarre imagery has little influence on recall of paired associates. This experiment showed that bizarreness does facilitate recall, particularly retention over a 24-hr. period. Instructions to relate imagery with positive emotional reactions, however, did not facilitate either immediate or delayed retention of concrete word pairs. Results are discussed in terms of a cognitive elaboration hypothesis.
