Today we're going to do our own psychology experiment.
00:05
I'm going to read you a list of words, then you will try to memorize as many as you can, and when i stop, you will write down all the words you remember from the list.
00:20
Here we go.
00:21
Sleep, awake, dream, bed, night, pillow, rest, nap, rem, unconscious, alarm, blanket, doze, snooze, slumber.
00:43
Okay, now pause the video and write down what you remember.
00:54
Okay, i'm going to go back to the words now.
00:57
You can take a look at what you wrote down.
01:01
Do you notice anything about the words that you remembered? most people remember the first words in a long list.
01:12
This would be called the primacy effect.
01:16
People also tend to remember the last words that were read in a long list, and this is called the recency effect...
