میت نے کام کی فہرست بنائی، لیکن اس نے اپنی ابتدائی سرگرمی کے لیے باہر جاتے ہوئے اسے غلطی سے گھر پر چھوڑ دیا۔ جب اس نے اسے یاد کرنے کی کوشش کی تو اسے صرف فہرست کا آغاز اور فہرست کا اختتام یاد تھا، لیکن درمیان کی چیزیں اسے یاد نہیں تھیں۔ مندرجہ بالا صورت حال اس کی ایک مثال ہے۔
Explanation
The serial-position effect can be defined as a tendency in which the accuracy of recalling the first and last items in the list is greater,
and the accuracy of recalling the items in the middle is worst.
The Serial-position effect involves two concepts that are the primacy effect and the recency effect.
In the primacy effect, the accuracy of recalling the items at the beginning of the list is greater than the middle items.
In the recency effect, the accuracy of recalling the items at the end of the list is greater than the items in the middle.
