The second experiment had multiple trials, where each trial consisted of the presentation of words followed by a recall test.

Participants were given 5 minutes to read the monologue twice, unaware of a future recall test.

This type of manipulation would promote whole-list relational processing, which may enhance generation performance on a free recall test.

The recall test was the monologue with 96 words or phrases missing.

Both watched the same video, but only one group was allowed to discuss the events in the video before the eyewitnesses had a recall test.
