| psychol. | serial position effect | эффект края (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. Recall accuracy varies as a function of an item's position within a study list. When asked to recall a list of items in any order (free recall), people tend to begin recall with the end of the list, recalling those items best (the recency effect). Among earlier list items, the first few items are recalled more frequently than the middle items (the primacy effect). The term was coined by Hermann Ebbinghaus (Герман Эббингауз). Alex_Odeychuk) |
