The purpose of this study to determine if information high in the logical structure of a passage tends to be recalled better than information low in the structure. Two groups of 24 Cornell undergraduates participated in the experiment. Subjects in each group read and recalled three passages. Group one read the Breeder Reactor High, Schizophrenia Low, and Parakeet High passages. Group two read the Breeder Reactor Low, Schizophrenia High, and Parakeet Low passages. The experiment was conducted in two sessions. In the first, subjects read each passage and produced a written free recall of it immediately after reading. In the second session, one week later, subjects were again asked for a free recall of each passage. Then they were given lists of the content words found in the target paragraphs of each passage and asked to produce a third free recall of each passage, using these words to aid them. The findings indicated that: information is more likely to be recalled from a passage if it is high in the content structure than if it is low; information is more likely to be retained over time from a passage if it is high in the content structure than if it is low; and providing cues for recall one week after reading increases the recall of information high and low in the content structure of the passage.
