Article Synopsis
- Word attributes like frequency and imageability affect how we remember the order of words, with high-frequency words being recalled worse than low-frequency ones in alternating lists.
- Research suggests that positional-coding models, rather than associative chaining, might explain these patterns, but alternative explanations based on similarity or item-order tradeoffs were found inadequate.
- New findings indicate that word frequency impacts the strength of associations formed during study and highlight the complexity of how item properties influence serial recall behavior.
