Abstract
As a test of the conjoint retention hypothesis, undergraduates heard 24 simple sentences while studying a map that represented 12 features as icons and labels, or as labels only. Control subjects saw a map outline without features. Half of the sentences were directly related to map features, and half were not related to features. Subject nouns were used as retrieval cues across three trials. Noun object recall of feature-related sentences was significantly better for all groups, but the predicted interaction between map and sentence type did not occur.
