Preferred term

negative recency effect  

Definition

  • Participants in the experiment are asked to learn several lists of items. At the end of each list, an immediate recall test is administered. A recency effect occurs for each individual list. However, at the end of the experiment, when the subjects are asked to recall the items from all the lists, the items at the end of each list are harder to recall (Craik, 1970).
