| Abstract: | Conducted an experiment to confirm hypotheses derived from D. C. Donderi (1973) and Donderi et al (1970) that visual memory is sensitive to information in learned stimulus-response contingencies and to the delay in recall testing. 66 Ss (aged 19–26 yrs) learned responses to 4 ellipses that varied orthogonally in area and orientation. Correct responses were contingent on either area or orientation of the ellipses. Ss recalled the ellipses by drawing them. Findings confirm that there was a systematic change in recall memory along a stimulus dimension when values along that dimension were associated with responses that were learned to the set of stimuli prior to recall.
