The Role Of Word Choice And Criterion On Intentional Memory
Summary .— The relationship between the criterion for choosing and the selfchoice eff ects (greater recall in a self-choice compared to a forced-choice condition)on intentional memory was examined. Thirty-three female nursing school volunteers were administered 24 word pairs in a 2 × 2 design to assess the infl uence of motivation upon free recall. When word pairs were presented to participants, they were asked to choose a word to-be-remembered, either in a self-choice condition or a forced-choice condition. Words chosen by the participants were recalled more often than those chosen by the experimenter (forced choice). Thus, the self-choice eff ect was greater for words chosen with a self-reference criterion compared to a metamemory criterion, supporting the integration hypothesis as the origin of the
self-choice eff ect.
