Constructive Memory for Bizarre and Sensible Sentences.
Hertel, Paula T.; Ellis, Henry C.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v5 n4 p386-94 Jul 1979
Two experiments examined subjects' ability to recognize or to recall sensible, interrelated sentences, with or without added bizarre sentences, either immediately or after two weeks. Results suggested that processing bizarre information can lead to more accurate recognition and recall of the sensible context. (Author/MH)
