free recall. A large literature has argued that two components of the

a number of difficulties in interpreting the recency effect as a
phenomenon uniquely associated with short-term memory. Moreover, the
serial position curve has been used widely for clinical investigations
in patients with memory deficits. This is despite the lack of norms for
the measures derived from the curve. ->TI:
We present a set of standardised norms based on 321 Italian normal
subjects. These norms are shown to be applicable both to an English
speaking population, and to three groups of brain damaged-patients,
namely Alzheimer's, amnesics, and frontals. The standardised norms
offer a clinical and experimental tool which, coupled with a multiple
single case approach, allows us to show dissociations and double
