The serial-position curve represents the probability of recall of a given word, given its order of presentation in a list. This means that the graph plots the likelihood of a person recalling a particular word when it was presented at a particular position in a list. The curve typically shows a U-shaped pattern with high recall for words presented at the beginning and end of the list, and lower recall for words presented in the middle.
