primacy effect

The primacy effect can also be explained in terms of memory.

Some of the strategies used could be made to explain the primacy effect found.

Longer presentation lists have been found to reduce the primacy effect.

The primacy effect extended over the first four serial positions.

The primacy effect, however, is not affected by the interference of recall.

Table 4 supports the primacy effect as recall is significantly greater for the first three words in the list.

This can be shown in terms of the recency and primacy effect respectively.

The opposite effect in the first set of data or other information is termed primacy effect.

Primacy effects are displayed when the person recalls items presented at the beginning of the list earlier and more often.

Thus they have been re-encoded into long-term memory and this gives rise to the primacy effect.

This leaves little explanation for a primacy effect.

As a result, items at the beginning of the list are made more likely to be recalled in a free-recall task (primacy effect).

The primacy effect is related to enhanced remembering.

Mood can play an influential role in impression formation by affecting the way the primacy effect is used when making judgments.

This value was compared with recall values for early serial positions in order to test for the primacy effect.

To control for primacy effects, approximately half of the cases were interviewed by the research psychiatrist before the team assessment, and the remainder afterwards.

This result resembles the irrational primacy effect in which people give greater weight to information that occurs earlier in a series.

In keeping with their hypothesis, Anderson and Barrios (1961) did find strong primacy effects.

Results from the experiment showed that all groups expressed both primacy effects and recency effects.

The primacy effect better memory of the first items in a list due to increased rehearsal and commitment to long-term memory.

Among earlier list items, the first few items are recalled more frequently than the middle items (the primacy effect).

The primacy effect describes the tendency to weigh information learned first more heavily than information learned later.

Primacy effects generally come from the idea that greater attention is devoted to items that appear at the beginning of presentation lists.

It would then be necessary to perform further experiments to support our chosen explanation for the primacy effect obtained, using the model shown in Fig. 3.

Position-item relationships do not account for recency and primacy effects, or the phonological similarity effect.
