“…People tend to confuse similar items in their order more often than dissimilar ones, a classical phenomenon observed across a variety of domains (Guitard & Cowan, 2020;Gupta et al, 2005;Jalbert et al, 2008;Lin & Luck, 2009;Logie et al, 2016;Saito et al, 2008;Visscher et al, 2007). In contrast to other types of similarity, semantic similarity does not decrease people's ability to recall items in their presentation order (Kowialiewski, Krasnoff, et al, 2023;Neale & Tehan, 2007;Poirier & Saint-Aubin, 1995;Saint-Aubin & Poirier, 1999). Still, there are some studies-reviewed below-showing subtle but intriguing effects of semantic similarity on order memory.…”
