This study is a modified replication of a study by Anderson and Pichert (1978). Subjects read three stories, taking a particular perspective for each, recalled each story from that perspective and, either immediately or after 1 week, recalled the stories again from a new perspective. Consistent with Anderson and Pichert's findings, subjects in the immediate condition showed a shift in recall as a function of retrieval perspective. However, subjects in the delay condition showed no retrieval shift; they continued to recall more information that was relevant to the encoding perspective than to the retrieval perspective. Furthermore, the retrieval shift obtained in the immediate condition was shown to be due not to an increase in recall of information related to the new perspective, but rather to less of a decrease in recall of this information over time relative to perspective-unrelated information. Thus, in contrast to Anderson and Pichert's results, the present results demonstrate that even though the retrieval framework can operate selectively in making certain information more accessible for output, it is ultimately constrained by the accessibility of information as determined by the encoding framework.
