- 1What were the findings of the Type 1 experiments?Control condition - slight primacy effect, stronger recency effect. 236 average.
- 2What were the findings of the Type 2 experiments?Slow presentation -strong primacy and recency effect. 268 average.
- 3What were the findings of the Type 3 experiments?Distractor at end - Primacy effect but not recency effect. 199 average.
- 4What were the findings of the Type 4 experiments?Distractor after each - slightly weaker primacy, strong recency, strong recency. 197 average.
- 5Why did slow presentation with no distractors get the best results?It strengthens both primacy and recency effects.
- 6What is the key assumption of Murdock's theory?Serial position effect is a result of short term proactive/retroactive inhibition acting together.
- 7How does Type 1, 2 and partially 4 support Murdock's theory?When participants remember primary or recent information, it is thought that they are recalling information from two separate stores (STM and LTM)
- 8What are the key assumptions of Glanzer's theory?Thinks that we get recent words from STM so we can access them uciker/better when recalling but we hold the first words in LTM
- 9How does Type 3 support Glanzer's theory?The words at the end of the list are only remembered if recalled first and tested immediately, and delaying recall by 30 seconds prevented recency effect.
- 10As retroactive inhibition is stronger, then......the most recently learned words are easiest to remember.
