The generation effect-the higher level of recall for words that have been generated than for words that have been merely read-has been interpreted as an artifact of generate words being rehearsed more than read words. If this interpretation is correct, no generation effect should occur in the absence of rehearsal. The research reported here was designed to test this prediction. Subjects were told that they were to remember pictorial material over the course of a distractor task that involved reading and generating words. In reality, it was their memory for the words that was of interest, and this was measured in a surprise recall test. Not only was a generation effect found, but the effect was unusually large. A second experiment confirmed that the effect is enhanced under conditions of incidental memorization. Apparently, the generation effect is not an artifact of differential rehearsal.
