![]() ![]() Behavioral results from two experiments confirmed this prediction. ![]() Analyses tested the prediction that a WM task emphasizing later items in a list (judgment of recency) would encourage exaggerated recency effects and attenuated primacy effects, while a task emphasizing earlier items (judgment of primacy) would encourage exaggerated primacy effects and attenuated recency effects. Two experiments varied task-demands by requiring participants to remember lists of letters and to then respond to a subsequent two-item probe by indicating either the item that was presented later in the list (judgment of recency) or the item was presented earlier (judgment of primacy). The present study investigates whether a pattern of larger recency effects and smaller primacy effects reported in previous working memory studies is specific to task conditions used in those studies, or generalizes across manipulations of task-demand. Ongoing debate surrounds the capacity and characteristics of the focus of attention. 2Department of Psychology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA.1Department of Psychology, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. ![]()
