Presentation and Chronological Order Effects in Memory and Judgments

This study investigated the effects of (a) the order in which stimulus information is received (presentation order) and (b) the order in which the events described by that information occurred in the real world (chronological order) on memory for the information and judgments based upon it. Subjects were initially shown 12 stimulus episodes describing the performance of a student in an English literature course. Moreover, they were given instructions, either before or after stimulus presentation, to concentrate either on the student's level of ability or on the course's level of difficulty. After a 5-minute delay, attributional judgments and memory were tested. Furthermore, two supplementary ability set conditions were also conducted with a delay of two days between stimulus presentation and the dependent measures.
