We proposed that a granular examination of serial position effects (SPE) in list-learning can refine the source of sex/gender differences.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of participants with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Healthy Controls (HC) was examined from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging …
