Encoding Practice

After analyzing the participants' responses, Dr. Smith notices that participants tend to recall the words at the beginning (​ (a)   ) and the end (​ (b)   ) of the list more accurately than the ones in the middle. Participants might remember words like "apple," "banana," and "cherry" from the beginning of the list and words like "notebook" and "orange" from the end of the list more easily. However, words like "fox," "grapes," and "hat" from the middle of the list might be less accurately recalled.

This example demonstrates the ​ (c)   , where items presented at the beginning and end of a list are remembered better than those in the middle, highlighting the role of both primacy and recency effects in memory recall.

• primacy effect
• recency effect
• serial position effect

• automatic processing
• encoding
• practice
• sensory memory

Rehearsal is just another word for (a)   .

• practice
• learning
• encoding
• recall
