The serial position effect, which shows how our memory and recall of items in a list are affected by their position or order within that list, is a well-documented cognitive phenomenon in the field of psychology. This idea affects us greatly in our daily lives, frequently without our even being aware of it. The primacy effect and the recency effect are the two main halves of the serial position effect. In contrast to the recency effect, which claims that we recall items at the end of a list more readily, the primacy effect contends that we prefer to remember items at the top of a list more easily. Our educational system is where one of the serial position effect’s most frequent occurrences occurs. a lecture by a teacher is going place in a classroom, and the pupils are taking notes. During the lecture, the instructor may introduce a number of crucial ideas or terminologies, and while the students take notes, they are more likely to recall the concepts and phrases that were introduced at the beginning and end of the presentation. The serial position effect is being directly applied in a learning environment here. The primacy impact applies to the ideas introduced at the start of the lecture, whereas the recency effect applies to those addressed later. The notions that are introduced in the middle of the presentation, however, could be more difficult to recall. Making shopping lists is a common activity that demonstrates the serial position effect. Imagine you have to make a list of the things you need to get from the grocery shop. When you are at the store, you are more likely to remember the goods you first consider and write down. These things are covered by the primacy effect. Similar to the recency effect, when you are about to leave the store and you recollect a few things you overlooked, those things are more likely to be remembered as well. The things you need to buy but remember in the course of writing the list might not be as easily recalled.
