In a previous study, it was demonstrated that the peak at the end section of free-recall serial position curve can be maintained by rehearsing the end section items during the delay between the end of presentation and recall. This study aimed to deter-mine among (1) STS, (2) LTS, or (3) both, the memory store (s) from which these items were retrieved. No-delay (C1), Delay-Computations (C2), Delay-Rehearsal (E1), and Delay-Rehearsal·Computation (E2) groups were used. Group E2, as well as Groups C1 and E1, showed the U-shaped serial position curve. In Group E1 the end section items, while in Group E2 the front section items were recalled first. It was concluded that the end section peak obtained by rehearsing them is attributable to the recall (output) from both STS and LTS.
