Serial memory processing is the act of attending to and processing one item at a time. This is usually contrasted against parallel memory processing, which is the act of attending to and processing all items simultaneously. In short-term memory search tasks, participants are given a set of items (letters, digits) and then asked whether a target item was present in this original set. In serial memory processing, participants would compare one item at a time, from their original set, and would not move to the next comparison until the previous is complete. [1]
