Serial isolation effect as related to list-end demarcation
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General
(1971)
Abstract
Ends of a 12-CVC serial list were either demarcated (ITI) or disguised (no ITI plus extralist items preceding the 1st item on the 1st trial only), and the 7th item was either isolated or nonisolated. Ss were 80 undergraduates. Differential performance at the locus of the isolated item supported an interpretation that in a list having a disguised starting point, the isolated item functions as a starting point for the series.
