Sarjatasoakäsite

Sarjatasoakäsite, also known as the serial position effect, is a cognitive phenomenon that describes how people tend to recall information better when it is presented at the beginning or end of a series. This effect is often observed in memory tasks, such as lists of words or numbers. The items at the beginning and end of the list are typically remembered more accurately than those in the middle. This pattern is thought to be due to a combination of factors, including the primacy effect, where early items are better remembered due to their freshness in memory, and the recency effect, where late items are better remembered because they are still active in working memory when recall is attempted. The serial position effect is a fundamental concept in the study of human memory and has implications for various fields, including education, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience.
