The present study was designed to further examine the relationship between hypermnesia and order retention. The experiment examined free- and serial-recall performance while using more ecologically-valid stimuli (20 actions that might occur in a park—throwing a Frisbee, reading a newspaper, etc.) than are typically used in hypermnesia studies (i.e., words and pictures). Three successive free-recall tests revealed positive hypermnesia, whereas 3 successive serial-recall tests displayed no change in performance across tests.
