In the previous papers entitled “Fac tors Influencing the Recall of Compound Numbers” (1955, Jap. J. Psychol., 26, 1-11), “Role of Remote Association in Errors of Adding of Simple Numbersv” (1958, Jap. J. Psychol., 28, 328-335), one of the present writers, Obonai, investigated how the subject would respond with a digit when a stimulus digit out of 0 through 9 was given orally by the experimenter. The percentage of occurrence was plotted in graph as a function of the absolute difference between the stimulus and the response digits. The curve showed a conspicuous regularity, being represented by a power function, Y=cXb, where Y is the percentage of recall, X is the interval between numbers in the ordinal number series. In this experiment the subject was asked to respond freely to a stimulus digit given by the experimenter and thus it roughly corresponds to the reading process in which meaning comes up as a response to a written word. In conversation and composition, on the contrary, a concept in our mind becomes a stimulus which in turn leads another concept in succession.<br>In the present experiment the subject was required to call out alphabetical letters one by one, in a random order, until he becomes unable to respond. Thus the recall process in this experiment is supposed to have some similarity to that of conversation and composition. In this procedure, the subject was not allowed to call a letter which precedes or succeeds a responded letter in immediate succession of alphabetical order. For example, after the recalled letter “m”, letters “1” and “u” were forbidden to follow immediately. The result obtained based on optionally selected 100 high school students was shown in Fig. 2 in Jap. text, p. 27 where relative frequency indicates actual frequency divided by chance frequency. Here, the curve showed a power function again. The letters alphabetically close to the preceding response-letter were more often recalled-facilitation-, while those remote to the preceding response-letter were suppressed to arise indicating inhibitory effect; the curve fits a power function very well. There is difference in strength between initial parts of proactive and retroactive recall gradients, which determines the direction of a flow of serial letter reproduction.
