- Spatial Grouping refers to items in the memory set being grouped spatially (e.g. item's 1,2,3 are in the top right corner and item's 4,5,6 are in the bottom left corner). The longer the spatial pathway from item to item, the slower the recall and lower the accuracy. Item's that have a small spatial pathway between them are remembered better and recalled faster <ref name=Parmentier />
- Temporal Grouping refers to items in the member set being presented temporally (e.g. item's 1,2,3 are presented simultaneously and then 5 seconds later item's 4,5,6 are presented simultaneously). When item's are grouped temporally, the accuracy of recall is higher than when they are not grouped as so. As well, evidence for participants created groupings even when items are not temporally grouped (e.g. recall RT's peak at 1st,4th,7th items) <ref name=Parmentier />
====Other Errors====
- Serial position errors are different and independent from acoustic errors. Acoustic errors represent items that are phonologically similar (''related to Suffix effect (e.g. A, Q)'') <ref name=Bjork />
- Other variables for verbal stimuli such as word length, word frequency and lexicality have been found to cause acoustic errors <ref name=Burgess />
====Processing in Atypical Individuals====
- When mental age is equal, no difference on serial memory tasks or children with [[autism]] <ref name=Prior />
