referred to as the primacy effect. Likewise‚ the improved recall of the words at the end of the list is referred to as the recency effect. Thus‚ when the results of a free recall experiment are plotted on a graph a u-shaped serial position curve is often formed. Many researchers have attempted to explain the serial position effect. A common explanation of the primacy and recency effects were introduced by Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968). According to this viewpoint the primacy effect is a

Some of these erroneous techniques that are used to judge an individual’s behaviour and personality include the primacy effect‚ where more weight is given to the early cues when forming an impression; the recency effect‚ which is the tendency to rely on recent cues when forming an impression; the halo effect‚ where an impression about an individual’s characteristics

Communication comes in different types of forms such as small group‚ dyadic‚ and intrapersonal. My needs of communication blend in with intrapersonal‚ small group and dyadic communication.

By dampening great-power competition and giving Washington the capacity to shape regional balances of power‚ primacy contributed to a more tranquil international environment.
