Forty subjects participated in the present study which was designed to test the predictability notion (Rönnberg, 1980b) contra a temporal model and how they apply to a list learning situation. Recall order was combined with type of encoding function governing the inter‐item intervals in the lists. Data supported the predictability notion in general and a strong position of this concept in particular.
