Two experiments were performed to measure the effect of bizarre imagery with paired - associate learning task. In experiment 1 for cued recall, common imagery increased recall when imagery type was manipulated in pure-lists design but not when imagery type was manipulated in mixed-lists design. In experiment 2 for free recall, bizarre imagery faciliated recall in mixed-lists design but not in pure-lists design. In conclusion bizarre imagery produced better recall only with a mixed-list design in free recall.
