Question 7

Endel Tulving presented people with a long list of unrelated words several different times.Each time the list was presented,the order of the items was rearranged.After each list presentation,Tulving had the participants free recall as many of the words on the list as possible.When he analyzed the order in which the words were recalled,he discovered that the subjects had developed their own groupings of the words.This consistency illustrates __________.
