In three experiments. the effects of the distance between cue and recall target in semantic network, and text organization on the recall of text details were investigated. Experiment 1 showed that organized text was more effective on the college students' text recall than scrambled one. But there was no difference between long distance cue and short distance cue. and there was no interaction effect between the distance of cues and text organization. In experiment 2, it was founded that organized text was more effective on middle school students' recall but there was no difference between the distances of cue-target. Also, there was no interaction effect between the distances of cue-target, and text organization. In experiment 3, it was not found the effect of the distance of cue-target on the middle school students' recall too.
