“…For example, in an item-recognition task in which a list of items is followed by a probe to be judged present in or absent from the list of items, it is typically observed that RTs to the last-presented item are faster than to any other item of the list (e.g., Burrows & Okada, 1971;McElree & Dosher, 1989;Nee & Jonides, 2008;Öztekin, Davachi, & McElree, 2010). The idea is that, at the end of the memory list, the final item is maintained in the focus of attention, resulting in speeded responses to probes that match that item.…”
