A graph-theoretic paradigm was used to generalize the common measures of categorical clustering in free recall based on the number of observed repetitions. Two graphs were defined: graph G, which characterized the a priori structure of the item set defined by a researcher; and graph R, which characterized a [human] subject''s protocol. Two indices of clustering, denoted by .GAMMA. and .OMEGA. were obtained by evaluating the sum of the pair-wise products of the weights on the corresponding edges of the 2 graphs. The .GAMMA. statistic were a direct generalization of the commonly used clustering indices and reduced to the number of repetitions whenever G represented a standard categorical decomposition of a stimulus list. The .OMEGA. statistic extracted more information from the protocol graph, R, than did .GAMMA. and incorporated a distance measure based on the number of intervening items in a subject''s recall sequence.
