Which part(s) of a serial list is/are remembered most poorly? Which part(s) is/are remembered the best?

On Jul 25, 2024


The part of a serial list that is remembered most poorly is typically the middle section. This is because the items in the middle of a list are often overshadowed by the items at the beginning and end, making them more difficult to recall.

On the other hand, the parts of a serial list that are remembered the best are usually the first and last items. This is due to the primacy and recency effects, which suggest that people are more likely to remember the first few items on a list (primacy effect) and the last few items on a list (recency effect) compared to the items in the middle. These effects are thought to be related to the way information is processed and stored in memory.

Overall, the middle section of a serial list is remembered most poorly, while the first and last items are remembered the best.
