Answer 1

Herman Ebbinghaus

Explanation:

The serial-position effect is comprised of two concepts: the primacy effect and the recency effect. The primacy effect states that recalling items at the beginning of the list is more accurate than recalling items in the middle of the list. The accuracy of recalled items at the end of a list is greater than that of items in the middle due to the recency effect.
