Just before taking your French I exam, you were reviewing 5 terms that you had missed on the last vocabulary test. When you get to your exam, you find that you have an easy time answering several questions because they are related terms you just studied. This is an example of the:

A. primacy effect.
B. recency effect.
C. serial position effect. Incorrect
D. von Restorff effect.

Recency Effect

Explanation:

The recency effect refers to a person's ability to remember the latest information. In the recency effect, short-term memory comes into play, where this memory is capable of holding a small amount of information for a short period. An example of a recency effect is the time before taking the test. Going over the terms you had forgotten on the exam and seeing questions related to what you studied in the exam will make passing the exam easier.

The recency effect is also evident in any situation of daily living. Writing down a phone number that we were given a few minutes ago is an example, also remembering a house that was seen a few moments ago is also part of the recency effect.
