257, p < .01] and the things not owned [chi-square(3,N=711)
= 79, P < .01].
Finally, the size measure was regressed against the
serial recall positions for both things owned and things not
owned. The relationship of size to recall order was
statistically significant for both the recall listings of
owned things (r = -.43, p < .01) and things not owned (r =
-.21, p < .01). To some small degree, larger exemplars
tended to be recalled earlier, especially for the recall of
owned things. With the territorial items removed, the
effect of size on recall order decreased for both recall
tasks, but remained significant for owned things (r = -.16,
p < .01l) and was not different from chance for the things
not owned (r = -.07, p > .0l1). Apparently, there was some
very slight tendency for subjects to list territorial items
early in their recall tasks.
Recall Strategies
The final follow-up question on the research
questionnaire concerned the subjects' strategies for listing
exemplars of things not owned. All but seven subjects
answered the question and selected at least one of the five
recall strategies provided. Forty-six subjects reported more
than one recall strategy, and seven subjects described their
strategies in their own words. The results appear in Table
