Glanzer and Cunitz (1966): serial position effect

front 1

Aim

back 1

to investigate whether serial position influences recall and if there are two separate stores of memory (STM, LTM)

front 2

Method

back 2

a lab experiment with 240 US army enlisted males

front 3

Procedures

back 3

Participants were presented with a list of 15 words to memorize

  • condition 1: participants were asked to recall the words immediately
  • condition 2: participants were given a 30 second distractor task before recalling the words

front 4

Results

back 4

  • Primacy effect: tendency to recall first words of list
  • Recency effect: tendency to recall words at end of list
  • delayed recall by 30 seconds destroys recency effect, however it does not influence primacy effect

front 5

Conclusio

back 5

  • Primacy effect occurs because words from the beginning of list get rehearsed and stored in long-term memory
  • the distractor task destroys a recency effect since it interferes with rehearsal within short-term memory and in turn isn't store in long-term memory
  • offers evidence for two separate memory stores, short-term memory and long-term memory, supporting the multi-store model
