16 subjects were presented with a series of 12 simple movements. Subjects were randomly assigned to two groups, counterbalanced for the sex of the subjects. There were two recall conditions, recall by performing the movements and by verbal description of the movements. One group recalled first by performing the movements and second by verbal description. In the second group the recall conditions were reversed. Results showed that regardless of order, motor recall was superior to verbal recall. On this basis it was argued that there exists a specific coding system for remembering sequences of movements.
