Prior findings showed facilitated total-list learning of order from perceptual isolation of one item in a serial list when acquisition was by a reconstruction method. In order to replicate and extend the generality of those results, the seventh item of a 12-CVC list was or was not perceptually isolated during presentation trials and the item occupying the seventh list position was or was not isolated on subjects' reconstruction materials. Results of Experiment I were entirely inconsistent with prior findings. With exception of providing a spatial framework for subjects' use during reconstruction trials, all methodological features of Experiment II were the same as for Experiment I. Results of this experiment did provide replication of prior research in which the same sort of spatial support had been present. It was emphasized that minimization of response-learning requirements allows utilization of an isolating stimulus as an organizational device, thus leading to facilitated order learning.
