of cues did help the LTM to retrieve information.
             However Mandler (1967) looked at the limitations of the short term memory (STM), and how it causes difficultly in our retrieval to handle no more then about five items at a time. Bower et al (1969) conducted a study where each category contained no more then five words for Ss to try to learn and supported Mandler's theory, Bower et al asked Ss in a experimental condition to learn 112 words, arranged into four groups. Ss were asked to to recall the category headings and all the words, Ss in the control condition were asked to learn the words when they were arranged in a random order. Results showed that Ss in the experimental condition recalled 73 words on average and the control group recalled 21 words on average.
             However despite showing cuing can be successful, Nickerson (1984) has provided evidence which has suggested otherwise. Nickerson points out that when people are asked to recall words from a list, they can do worse, instead of better. PSC can inhibit recall and serve as an interference task. This interference task is known as the editing hypothesis, where Ss have to check each recalled word against the cues and the cues having to be edited out and removed ( Roediger and Tulving 1974).
             This research can be useful to education in teaching, learning and revision purposes. Also in the criminal justice especially in eyewitness testimony, where cues can be helpful to trigger our LTM.
             To investigate whether the presentation of part-set cues has an inhibitory effect on the recall of previously recalled material, and to determine whether any inhibitory effect is increased by cue size.
