38 for owned things (p = .85) nor for things not owned (p = .78). There were also no differences on the mean recall postions of category membership for owned things (p = .30) nor for things not owned (p = .36). Since the null hypothesis of no differences between the recall listings of the experimenter-present group and the experimenter-absent group appears warranted, in all subsequent analyses the data of the two groups were combined. Tabulation of Exemplars In psychological studies of semantics using free recall, the recall items themselves have been tabulated and displayed as results for subsequent discussion (Battig & Montague, 1946). Typically, the recall items are rank ordered by frequency of occurrence and may be presented along with recall position information. A computer program was developed in WBASIC to count the frequency of occurrence and to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the recall position for each recall item. Tables 2 and 3 show the exemplars of things owned and things not owned that had frequencies of occurrence of 10 or more, representing in both cases, 670 items, or 56% of the total 1200 recall items in each listing. (Appendices H and I have the complete listings.) Similar tabulations were made for the 72 i ies for exemplar categories. The rank ordering of categorie owned things with at least 10 listings appears in Table 4
