Answer 1

The correct answer is a. serial position effect

The serial position effect refers to the tendency in memory where individuals remember the first and last bits of information from a list or study session better than they remember information from the middle of a list or study session. Your tutor therefore, advises you to study material in the middle of your study session a little harder.
