Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A serial recall task requires the individual to remember items in the exact order in which they were presented, which aligns with the instructions given to Melissa in this experiment. Free recall tasks allow participants to recall items in any order, paired-associates require linking two items together, and structured recall tasks have predetermined categories or organization for the items to be recalled.
