Abstract
Using the forward and backward associative method proposed by Liu Inmao, we examined the nature of primacy and recency effect in different presentation and interval times situation with Chinese characters. The results showed that the recency effect of the serial position effect was sensitive to the changing of time, and the recency effect belonged to absolute memory. The nature of primacy and recency effect depended on the item presentation time, the interval time and the item number of the serial.
