Detailed explanation-1: -Glanzer and Cunitz showed that when participants are presented with a list of words, they tend to remember the first few and last few words and are more likely to forget those in the middle of the list, i.e. the serial position effect.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Primacy and Recency Effect (Glanzer and Cunitz, 1966) Using this method, researchers detected a pattern: participants can remember words better when they appear at the beginning of a list and at the end of a list. This has been dubbed the serial position effect (aka the primacy and recency effects).
Detailed explanation-3: -Building on this research, Glanzer and Cunitz (1966) designed experiments to test their Multi-Store Model of Memory (MSM). They aimed to test the hypothesis that there are two distinct storage mechanisms the STM store and the LTM store. Two repeated measures experiments were conducted.
Detailed explanation-4: -Second Experiment Glanzer and Cunitz was an experiment to test the hypothesis that short term memory and long term memory are two separate memory stores. The researchers used 240 army enlisted men. The aim of the study was to determine the existence of STM and LTM and their capacities.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Multi-Store Model argues that STM is limited in both capacity and duration-that is, there is a limited amount of information that can be held in STM for a limited amount of time.
