Abstract
In two experiments, memory for temporal order and item was tested by list identification and free recall. Subject received five lists containing 50 Chinese two-character words from ten categories, each of which included five items. The structure of the lists separated all the items into two types: Same-category words within the list and across lists. The results are as follows: (1) When measure was delayed 2, 6 and 10 seconds, temporal order memory for the same-category word within the list was better than across the lists; only when the measure was delayed 2 seconds, item memory had an advantage for the same-category words within the list. (2) The advantage of item memory for the same-category words within the list existed in recall cued by categories, not by the lists. (3) There are effects of the serial-list position on two types of memory.
