Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Serial-position effects refer to the phenomenon where items presented at the beginning (primacy effect) and end (recency effect) of a list are remembered better than those in the middle. This is because the first few items are able to be rehearsed and transferred to long-term memory, while the last few items are still in the short-term memory register. The middle items, however, may not receive as much attention and processing, leading to more difficulty in retrieval.
