Scholars have long theorized a role for reactivation and rehearsal in maintaining items in memory. Recent evidence suggests that reactivation during awake rest or sleep predicts subsequent recognition and cued recall performance. In a free recall task however, the relationship between covert reinstatement and recall may be more complex because the memory cues must be self-generated and retrieval depends strongly on what has previously been retrieved. Retrieved context theories suggest that covert retrievals during a delay interval should specifically predict the initiation of recall. To test t
