摘要: Free-recall verbal learning is analyzed in terms of a probability model. The general theory assumes that the recalling word on any trial completely determined by number times has been recalled previous trials. Three particular cases this are examined. In these three cases, specific restrictions placed upon relation between recall and recalls. application special to typical experimental data illustrated. An interpretation model set suggested but not essential argument.
