Questions and Answers

What is the phenomenon called when items at the beginning and end of a list are more likely to be remembered than those in the middle?

  • Memory Consolidation
  • Serial Position Effect (correct)
  • Primacy Effect
  • Recency Bias

Why are items at the beginning of a list more likely to be remembered according to the text?
