| has gloss | eng: Free recall is a basic paradigm of experimental psychology. In this paradigm, participants study a list of items on each trial, and then are prompted to recall the items in any order (hence the name "free" recall). Items are usually presented one at a time for a short duration, and can be any of a number of nameable materials, though traditionally words, randomly chosen from a larger set, are used. The recall period traditionally lasts a few minutes, and can involve spoken recall or written recall. The standard paradigm involves the recall period starting immediately after the final list item; this can be referred to as Immediate Free Recall (IFR) to distinguish it from Delayed Free Recall (DFR), in which a short distraction period is interpolated between the final list item, and the start of the recall period. |
