How does increased similarity of items in a test generally affect recall?
How does increased similarity of items in a test generally affect recall?
- Decreases recall, as similar items create interference.
- Increases recall, particularly for similar groups of items. (correct)
- Has no impact on recall performance.
- Reduces recall by causing proactive interference.

Learning-Testing Delay Effects
Learning-Testing Delay Effects
Delay between learning and testing can affect memory recall and recognition, including primacy-recency effects.
Item Similarity in Tests
Item Similarity in Tests
When test items are similar, recall is better; recognition improves with dissimilar items.

Study Notes
- Effects of recall and recognition involve delay between learning and testing
- Includes primacy and recency effects
Similarity of Items in Test
-
Similar items tend to provide better recall
-
More similar groups of items allow for better recall
-
Recognition is improved with dissimilar items
-
Distractor tasks, which prevent rehearsal, can reduce recall
-
Recall is better when the context of learning and testing are the same
-
Two main types of memory tests are recall and recognition
-
Recognition is generally better
-
Recall produces primacy-recency effects
-
Primacy-recency effects can be affected by distraction, delay, item distinctiveness, and presentation rate
