Abstract
Black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus), a food-storing bird, wer e presented with three-item lists of unique spatial configurations. Ea ch item consisted of one baited and three nonbaited feeders. Memory fo r the location of the hidden bait in each configuration was tested. Bo th primacy and recency effects were observed. The results from this us e of a new species and procedure provide further evidence for the gene rality of serial position effects in animals.
