In an incidental memory task, subjects performed an orienting task of rating kanji stimuli on semantic or graphemic attribute scales followed by an unexpected free recall. Three rating conditions involved processing on (1) one scale, (2) three scales correlated with each other, and (3) three uncorrelated scales. Subjects who made rating on three scales recalled more than those on one scale. More recall was observed under the rating on three uncorrelated scales than on correlated scales in the semantic orienting task, whereas in the graphemic orienting task the difference between the two was not observed.
