A growing number of studies have shown that on serial recall tests, words with more orthographic/phonological neighbours are better recalled than otherwise comparable words with fewer neighbours, the so-called neighbourhood size effect. Greeno et al. replicated this result when using a large stimulus pool but found a reverse neighbourhood size effect—better recall of words with fewer rather than more neighbours—when using a small stimulus pool. We report three registered experiments that further examine the role of set size in the neighbourhood size effect. Experiment 1 used the large pool...

The interrogation of verbal short-term memory processes sometimes makes use of the serial recognition task, which involves two sequential presentations of a list of items. These lists may be identical or differ by the transposition of two adjacent items, thus requiring a same/different judgement. When utilised, this task has primarily been used as a companion to the immediate serial recall task, since many of the task requirements are similar with the exception of requiring a reproduction of each list item (as in the case of recall). Together they have been used to assess contributions of long...
