Equivalence of Recall Conditions The first analysis was to determine whether or not the two recall conditions (experimenter-present and experimenter-absent) had any significant effect on the recall listings. There was concern that the subjects who did the recall tasks in the absence of the experimenter might have performed differently, e.g. by either consulting other people for exemplars or by doing the recall tasks in several sittings. The null hypothesis was that there was no difference in the recall listings. This was tested on eight different measures. For listings of things owned and for listings of things not owned, the two groups of subjects were compared on the relative frequencies of the exemplars, on the relative frequencies of the exemplar categories, on the recall positions of the actual exemplars in the serial recall order 1 to 10, and on the the recall positions of the items in the exemplar categories. All comparisons were made using the Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Ranks Test of the SPSS sub-program NPAR TESTS (Hull & Nie, 1981).
