The free recall of low-meaningfulness CCC trigrams was studied as a function of fixed versus random order of presentation and high versus low intralist similarity. Order of presentation had no significant effect; however, the low intralist similarity group showed better free recall across 10 trials, with the superiority of the low intralist similarity group increasing across trials.
