The serial position effect
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Items found at the end of the list that are learned most recently are recalled best (the recency effect), while the first few items are also recalled better than those found in the middle (the primacy effect ). You have probably experienced this effect many times when you try to learn something new.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primacy effect is the tendency to remember and place more importance on the items at the beginning of a list.
Detailed explanation-3: -Serial-position effect is the tendency of a person to recall the first and last items in a series best, and the middle items worst.
Detailed explanation-4: -Experiments show 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. This is known as the serial position effect.
Detailed explanation-5: -Items in the middle of a series are harder to remember because they are no longer in our short-term memory, but they haven’t been processed for long enough to be stored in our long-term memory.
