I just took a memory task which called serial position effect(or curve). And i searched about that.

"Serial position Effect - position in a list will influence recall"

As a results, serial position effect concludes;

1) Primacy Effect - better remember those items presented first

2) Recency Effect - better remember those items presented last



So... we can adopt this theory to our psychology class. The most important subject and examples of each class should mentioned at the beginning of class and finishing of.
It will allow student to easily remember what we learned in class.

i also took the memory task, i was curious to see if it would really turn out in a curve like they said, and it did! i realized as i took it how hard it was to remember the middle numbers, i kept trying to repeat the pattern in my mind as each number got added but it didnt help, the bar graph showed that i almost never got the 2nd to last digit right. i like these simple tests, it really helps to understand what we cover in class, like how emily tested her nephew. it makes me more confident in what we're learning, in a simple way.
