ABSTRACT

George's work and my own have probably come closest in the experiments and ideas that have sought to amalgamate his notions of memory organization (e.g., Mandler, 1967, 1972) with the concepts and results coming from the work on levels of processing (Craik & Lockhart, 1972; Craik & Thlving, 1975). In fact the proposal that free recall performance depended both on the type of processing carried out on the item itself, and on the organizational links among items was one made in the Mandler (1979) chapter just cited. These notions have also been developed and extended by Reed Hunt, Gilles Einstein, and their colleagues (e.g., Einstein & Hunt, 1980; Hunt & Einstein, 1981).
