A direct replication and extension of Popp and Serra (2016, experiment 1): better free recall and worse cued recall of animal names than object names, accounting for semantic similarity

That effect was recently replicated by Mah et al. They also found that animacy could impair cued-recall. In both papers, people were more likely to recall word pairs of two object words (car-house) than any pairs that included a living word (car-dog). htt
