Specialized Recall Procedures

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Studies of memory search using the free recall paradigm have advanced our understanding of human memory for more than a century. Here, we review seven specialized recall procedures that depart from methodological orthodoxy: the inter-list repetition procedure, the list-before-last procedure, the recall-by-category procedure, the final-free recall procedure, the overt-rehearsal procedure, the externalized recall procedure, and the spatial-temporal recall procedure. Key empirical findings from each of these procedures have challenged existing theories and led to theoretical advances.
