This experiment compared the effects of high-level and low-level postpassage questions, when presented immediately after the passage segment containing the answer to the question, on college students' free recall of expository prose passages. Low-vocabulary subjects' recall of high-level information not specifically quizzed by the postpassage questions was significantly greater in the condition in which the questions quizzed a high-level unit than in the low-question and no-question conditions, p < .05. These results are interpreted as being consistent with a direct-access explanation which assumes that questions presented in close temporal contiguity to the quizzed information directly access that information in memory and that fewer associative links have to be traversed in the spread of activation from high-level units to other related information in the hierarchy. The effect of type of question in this experiment was compared with that found in an earlier experiment (Wilhite, 1982) involving delayed question presentation.
