Abstract
Summary This study examined the effects of serial position and length of series on immediate serial recall. Arrangements of either 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 English consonants were presented according to latin-square designs to groups, respectively, of 20, 18, 21, 24, and 18 women college students. Bowed serial position curves of recall typical of serial anticipation learning were obtained on the first trial for each of the series of different lengths, except for the 5-consonant series, for which recall was perfect. Recall was poorer and bowing of the serial position curve was greater as the length of series increased. Attention was directed to the similarity between the serial effects of immediate memory and rote serial learning.
