Unit 5 – Cognitive Psychology
Topic 5.5
How does the primacy effect influence our ability to recall items from a list?
It leads us towards creating false memories by incorporating post-event misleading information into original event's memory..
It boosts our capacity for recalling items at end of lists due their recent presentation - also known as recency effect.
It enhances our ability to remember items at the beginning of the list because they are more likely transferred into long-term memory storage.
It increases our chance of forgetting initial items on a list as newer ones interfere with them causing proactive interference .
