TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Serial position effects in implicit and explicit tests of memory JO - Journal of experimental psychology: learning, memory, and cognition A1 - Gershberg, F. B. A1 - Shimamura, A. P. SP - 1370 EP - 1378 VL - 20 IS - 6 N2 - The effects of serial position at study on implicit and explicit tests of memory were investigated. Both primary and recency effects were observed in implicit tests of word-stem completion. These effects, however, were transient. No serial position effects were found in the second half of testing (Experiments 1 and 3) or when testing followed a 1-min, filled delay (Experiment 2). Serial position effects were also examined in explicit tests of cued recall. When performance on explicit cued recall was below ceiling levels, a primacy effect persisted throughout testing (Experiment 3). Similarly, in explicit tests of free recall, primacy effects were consistently observed, both with immediate testing (Experiments 1 and 3) and when testing followed a filled delay (Experiment 2).
