List Learning

List learning is a psychological process where individuals study and recall items arranged in a specific order, often to assess memory abilities. Typically, it involves presenting a list of words or items, then testing how well the person can remember them immediately or after a delay. This method helps researchers understand how memory works, especially short-term and working memory, and can be useful for diagnosing memory-related conditions or tracking cognitive changes over time. Essentially, it’s a structured way to evaluate how effectively someone can encode, store, and retrieve information in a sequence.
