Answer 1

Recency effect

Step-by-step explanation:

The recency effect is a psychological phenomenon. This is the phenomenon that is based on remembering the most recent information that is presented recently.

If a person is trying to remember the information or list of items than the person will remember the most recent information presented recently. This is the component of the serial position effect.

In the serial position effect, there is two-component such as primacy effect and the recency effect. The primacy effect tells about the primary part of the list of items and the last part is called the recency effect.
