A researcher investigated the effect of structural organization on semantic memory recall.
In Condition 1, 15 participants were shown a printed list of 24 words arranged into clear conceptual categories (e.g., fruits, occupations). They were then asked to freely recall as many words as possible.
In Condition 2, a different group of 15 participants were shown the same 24 words but in a completely randomized order. They were then asked to freely recall as many words as possible.
