![]() However, when the students t test was used on the item means for the two conditions, only the first four words were significantly different. The graphical presentation of the data is consistent with the findings of other researchers and reveals little impact on the primacy effect and a dramatic negative impact on the recency effect. To test this theory, a 17-item word list was presented to students at a rate of one word per second and half the students were allowed to immediately recall the words, while the other half counted backwards from 300 in threes for 30 seconds before recall. This theory also implies that if test subjects become preoccupied with an unrelated cognitive task in between word presentation and recall, the last words on the list would tend to be forgotten. This theory implies that lengthening the delay between presentation of the last words on the list would impair the recall of these words (recency effect), but not the first words presented (primacy effect). The serial position effect has been attributed to the labile nature of the short-term memory and the resilience of long-term memory. ¶ … Distractor Task on Serial Position Effect ![]()
