Abstract
Black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus), a food-storing bird, were presented with three-item lists of unique spatial configurations. Each item consisted of one baited and three nonbaited feeders. Memory for the location of the hidden bait in each configuration was tested. Both primacy and recency effects were observed. The results from this use of a new species and procedure provide further evidence for the generality of serial position effects in animals.
