Subclaims¶

q3 i? More Eskimo/English pairs from the TTST condition than the pure ST condition were correctly completed. → Carrier 1992

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Laboratory experiment with 59 subjects (data from 53 analyzed) learning 40 Eskimo/English word pairs under the same procedure as Experiment 1. The ANOVA showed the reliable TTST advantage the article reports; means were 5.7 vs 6.4 (Day 1) and 3.9 vs 4.6 (Day 2).

"The effect of presentation condition was reliable [F(l,48) = 9.08, MSe = 2.74, p < .01], indicating that more pairs from the TTST condition were correctly completed than pairs from the pure ST condition."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The TTST advantage persists in a pure-list design, ruling out differential rehearsal (Experiment 4) — related
• The TTST advantage persists when no further presentations follow the retrieval manipulation, ruling out encoding-effort strategies (Experiment 3) — related
• Retrieval before re-presentation (TTST) improves final cued recall of nonsense-syllable/number pairs relative to pure study (Experiment 1) — related
• The retrieval benefit occurs at the level of individual items, not through general practice at retrieval — related
• The retrieval (TTST) advantage appeared at both short (5 min) and long (24 h) retention delays, with no reliable evidence that it differed between them — related
