Hey I just recently did a SAC on memory. We had a question on the serial position effect and were asked to choose "which part (start, end and/or middle) of the list would the students me most likely to remember?" I, seeing that it referred to only the "part" and not "parts" and knowing that the recency effect was more superior than the primacy effect, wrote that the students would most likely remember the words at the end of the list. The following question then asked to explain why and I wrote about the recency effect. However, the teacher took marks off these questions because he said that the students would have remembered both the words at the start and end of the list, thus the cause would have been the primacy and recency effect. So, should I have received the marks? Is the recency effect more superior than the primacy effect when remembering a list of words?
