Hi, I am trying to design a study but I am encountering some issues in getting the desired outcome. 

I have two lists of stimuli (text).
-    List 1: 6 information presented statements
-    List 2: 6 information presented as questions
The information included in the two list are identical, only the format (declarative vs interrogative) changes.

<item statements>
/1 = "A"
/2 = "B”
/3 = "C”
/4 = "D"
/5 = "E"
/6 = "F”
</item>

<item questions>
/1 = "A?"
/2 = "B?”
/3 = "C?”
/4 = "D?"
/5 = "E?"
/6 = "F?”
</item>


In a first phase, participants should see 3 questions and 3 statements, but it is important that the 3 questions include different items from those presented in the 3 statements.

Then, in a second phase, participants should see the same 3 questions and 3 statements seen in phase 1 (repeated info), plus the 3 questions and 3 statements not seen in phase 1 (new info). Also for the new info, I want the 3 questions to include different items from those presented in the 3 statements.

Could you help me with that?

You're describing a fairly typical Old-New paradigm. These have been discussed here dozens of times, most recently here: https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic36045.aspx

You can find many more examples via the search function.
