Answer 1

Answer - Recency Effect

Psychologists have noticed that a person is more likely to remember the first and last item in a series more than the items in the middle. This is called the serial position effect. Furthermore, the tendency to recall the first item in the series is called the primacy effect, while the tendency to recall the last item in the series is called recency effect.
