An increasing body of evidence suggests that nonword repetition is related to immediate serial memory (e.g., Baddeley, Gathercole, & Papagno, 1998; Gathercole & Baddeley, 1993). One possible account of this relationship is that a nonword is processed like a list when it is first encountered. If this is the case, it should be possible to detect serial position effects in repetition of single nonwords. Three experiments tested this prediction. Experiment 1 examined whether there would be syllable serial position primacy and recency effects in repetition of polysyllabic nonwords, and obtained both primacy and recency effects. Experiments 2 and 3 showed that these effects were not due to the controlled duration of the nonwords or the requirements of concurrent articulation or the procedure by which nonwords were created.
越来越多的证据表明，非词重复与即时序列记忆有关（例如，Baddeley、Gathercole和Papagno，1998年；Gathercole和Baddeley，1993年）。对这种关系的一种可能解释是，非词在首次遇到时会像一个列表一样被处理。如果是这样的话，那么在单个非词的重复中应该能够检测到序列位置效应。三个实验对这一预测进行了检验。实验1研究了在多音节非词的重复中是否会出现音节序列位置的首因效应和近因效应，并同时获得了首因效应和近因效应。实验2和实验3表明，这些效应并非由于非词的受控时长、同时发音的要求或非词的创建过程所致。
