WHAT DOES RECENCY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Serial position effect

Serial position effect is the tendency of a person to recall the first and last items in a series best, and the middle items worst. The term was coined by Hermann Ebbinghaus through studies he performed on himself, refers to the finding that recall accuracy varies as a function of an item's position within a study list. When asked to recall a list of items in any order, people tend to begin recall with the end of the list, recalling those items best. Among earlier list items, the first few items are recalled more frequently than the middle items. One suggested reason for the primacy effect is that the initial items presented are most effectively stored in long-term memory because of the greater amount of processing devoted to them. The primacy effect is reduced when items are presented quickly and is enhanced when presented slowly. Longer presentation lists have been found to reduce the primacy effect. One theorized reason for the recency effect is that these items are still present in working memory when recall is solicited. Items that benefit from neither are recalled most poorly.
