Ah, yes, hello.
00:01
So the primacy effect, this refers to the tendency to remember items at the beginning of the list better than those in the middle.
00:13
While the regency effect, this refers to the tendency to remember items at the end of the list.
00:23
So this would be, again, at the beginning, and this would be at the end of the list, better than those in the middle.
00:30
So these effects are observed due to the way information is processed and stored in the short -term and long -term memory.
00:37
So when comparing the recall of 50 items to that of 12 items, the first effect may not be pronounced for the longer list.
00:45
That is because the capacity of short -term memory is limited, right? often cited to basically seven plus or minus two items, making it harder to rehearse and really transfer all the early items to long -term memory effectively.
00:59
As a result, only the very first few items might benefit from the primacy effect, and its overall impact could be diminished due to the cognitive load of processing many items...
