Measures performance on a task which was uncontaminated by incomplete learning of the task and determines the effects on such uncontaminated performance of two postulated kinds of drives (energizing and disruptive). (Author)

Results suggested that: cue encoding leads to greater associative recall; there was no difference in likelihood of associative recall between items encoded in a stable manner and items encoded in an unstable manner; and encouraging to encode cues did not facilitate associative recall. (Authors)
