概要In today's technologically advanced world, we process vast amounts of information daily, but memory capacity is limited. Using categorization strategies can enhance memory retention and retrieval efficiency. Due to the influence of Western writing habits, our reading follows a left-to-right pattern, which in turn affects memory order. Therefore, this study explores the impact of "same-category two-character words" and "quantity variation" on working memory across different serial positions, analyzing their effects on recall and whether the placement of two-character words (left or right) influences memory order.
