Need an research paper on human memory: a proposed system and its control processes. Needs to be 5 pages. Please no plagiarism. When there was a delay, the primacy effect still occurred, but the rate of recall of words presented in the middle and at the end of the list was similar.

The serial position effect results in the graphical outcome of a U curve when word recall is tested immediately after a list is presented. Words at the very beginning and end of the list are better recalled while those in the middle show poor recall. When a recall is initiated after a delay, it is only items presented at the beginning of a list which is recalled, while recall is uniformly poor for items presented in the middle and at the end of the list.

The aim and objective of the experiment were to test recall of word lists, to detect whether there was evidence of the primacy and recency effect. The experiment also compared these results to those obtained when lists are presented with delayed recall.

There are four different null hypotheses proposed to be examined through this research study. (a) In the immediate recall task, there will be a higher level of recall of words presented at the beginning of the list rather than the middle. (b) In the immediate recall task, there will be a higher level of recall of words presented at the end of the list as compared to the middle (c) In the delayed recall task, there will be a higher level of recall of words presented at the beginning of the list (d) In the delayed recall task, there will be a higher level of recall of words presented at the end of the list as compared to the middle.

This experiment used a computer that had a specific computer program presenting lists of words and the facility for the participant to respond by typing the words into the computer. Six separate lists, each containing twelve words each were used. The program also consisted of arithmetical tests used with the tests for delayed recall.

A within-subjects design was used and the percentage of words&nbsp.recalled by the participant was measured for each list, both under the immediate response and the delayed response category.&nbsp.
