Abstract
In 3 experiments, we employed a Transitive Inference (TI) paradigm. Participants initially learned a set of pairs, then engaged in restudy or retrieval practice before taking a final test that assessed memory for the original pairs and new combinations. We found that TI was worse for retrieval practice than restudy.
