A full week after Kelley heard her mother read her a list of 10 different zoo animals, Kelley is most likely to remember the animals _____ of the list.

a. in the middle

b. at the beginning

c. end & at the beginning

d. at the end

Step-by-step explanation:

• Choice C is the best answer. Kelley is likely to remember the first and last few animals her mom lists because they are fresh within her mind.
• Choice A is incorrect. Kelley is least likely to remember the animals her mom lists in the middle. This is due to the serial position effect. There is a cognitive bias toward the most recent and latter events in a list.
