Question

given 1, 4, 3, 5, 6, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 1, 3, 4, 5, and 2. remembering 1, 4, 3, 4, 5, and 2 is an example of ______. the spacing effect; the recency effect; the serial position effect; the primacy effect

Explanation:

The recency effect refers to the tendency to remember items at the end of a list better. The given numbers to remember (1, 4, 3, 4, 5, 2) are from the latter part of the original list (1, 4, 3, 5, 6, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 1, 3, 4, 5, 2). The spacing effect is about spaced vs. massed practice, serial position effect is the overall of primacy and recency, and primacy is about the start of the list. So this is the recency effect.

Answer:

B. The Recency Effect
