N2  - Although much is known about the dynamics of
memory search in the free recall task, relatively little is
known about the factors related to recall termination. Rean-
alyzing individual trial data from 14 prior studies (1,079
participants in 28,015 trials) and defining termination as
occurring when a final response is followed by a long
nonresponse interval, we observed that termination proba-
bility increased throughout the recall period and that retriev-
al was more likely to terminate following an error than
following a correct response. Among errors, termination
probability was higher following prior-list intrusions and
repetitions than following extralist intrusions. To verify that
this pattern of results can be seen in a single study, we report
a new experiment in which 80 participants contributed recall
data from a total of 9,122 trials. This experiment replicated
the pattern observed in the aggregate analysis of the prior
studies.
