Two experiments tested the effects of list position, and retention-interval in recognition for two distinct stimulus categories in young adults. Stimulus categories were spatial abstract patterns and words presented on a computer screen. At short delay intervals recency effects predominates and at longer delay intervals a primacy effect predominates in both experiments, indicating similar basic memory processes producing the serial position functions for the two different categories of visual stimuli, but as length of retention-interval increases, memory for first list items improves for words and remains constant for abstract patterns. Recency functions are similar for both stimulus categories tested.
两项实验测试了列表位置和保持间隔对年轻人识别两种不同刺激类别的影响。刺激类别为呈现于电脑屏幕上的空间抽象图案和单词。在短延迟间隔时，近因效应占主导，而在长延迟间隔时，首因效应在两项实验中均占主导，这表明产生这两种不同视觉刺激类别系列位置功能的基本记忆过程相似，但随着保持间隔长度增加，对单词列表中首个项目的记忆得到改善，而对抽象图案的记忆保持不变。所测试的两种刺激类别的近因函数相似。
