Primate Memory: Retention of Serial List Items by a Rhesus Monkey. Sands, S. F. & Wright, A. A. Science, 209(4459):938–940, 1980. abstract bibtex A rhesus monkey correctly recognized 86 and 81 percent of 10- and 20-item lists, respectively. Its serial position curve was similar in form to a human's curve, revealing prominent primacy and recency effects. The key to these findings was in minimizing proactive interference through the use of a large pool of 211 color photographs.
