Question 31 • Personal Psychology 1

Kaleb has a grocery list on his phone, but he accidentally deletes it. So he has to rely on his memory. According to psychologists’ research, which list items is Kaleb MOST likely to remember?

Answer
A
the first and last ones
B
the first two or three
C
the middle ones
D
the last two or three

Explanation

This is the serial-position effect: people tend to remember items at the beginning and end of a list best. The first items benefit from the primacy effect, and the last items benefit from the recency effect. So Kaleb is most likely to remember the first and last items.
