A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the uniqueness effect (i.e., better memory performance with unique cues than shared cues) in cued recall and cue-target recognition and to determine whether a simple model based on associative strength could account for the phenomenon. After replicating the effect in Experiment 1, Experiments 2 and 3 sought to eliminate it through repetition of the shared stimuli. Three presentations eliminated the cue uniqueness effect in pair recognition but not in cued recall. An associative link-strength model failed to account for these data. Enhancing this model by taking into account differences in the way associative strength is accessed in pair recognition and cued recall provided one way to account for the phenomenon and is consistent with recent models for the fan effect.
