Respuesta :

Memorizing items on a list are enabled by the effects of primacy and

recency.

Ordinarily, material presented in the middle of a list is usually the most

difficult to remember due to interference.

Reasons:

When memorizing a list of items, due to the primacy effect, the information

at the beginning of the list are given importance, in the brain, due to their

many attributes, which may be due to them being;

  • The first item
  • Definition of the task (assignment of importance level)
  • Idea of what to expect (preparation of the mind)

Also the last items on the list are recalled by the effect known as recency,

which is probably due to the tendency to store items in the short term

memory.

Therefore, in the course of memorizing a list,  the first items on the list can

be stored in the long-term memory. The items that comes last in the

list are stored in the short-term memory, while the material presented in

the middle of the list are not allocated to a storage, and are usually

the most difficult to remember due to interference, by other items that

tend to come up during the retrieval process, from the long-term memory.

(Rearranging the list can aid total recall)
