Definition

  • "In the missing item task (Yntema & Trask, 1963), two lists are presented on each trial, a study list and a test list. The items in both lists are presented one at a time. The test list contains all but one of the items from the study list and they are presented in a new random order. The task is to report which item from the study list is missing in the test list."
