The serial-position effect is a noteworthy issue in the study of working memory.The present study aimed to investigat the working memory serial-position effect for events.We employed the change detection paradigm of working memory and required the par-ticipants to remember five biological motion events presented in sequence.Consistent results were found in both accuracy and reaction times:only the accura-cy of the last event in the sequence was significantly higher than that of other positions,and the reaction time was significantly lower than that of other posi-tions.That is,there was a significant recency effect in sequence working memory of event,but no primacy effect.The serial-position effect of event working memory is similar to that of other visual objects(such as color,orientation),but different from that of event long-term memory.
