Talk:Autobiographical memory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In this article, the recency effect is mentioned in reference to the forgetting curve individual's experience for the last 10-20 years of their life. Use of this term is incorrect. The recency effect is an effect where recall of (or memory for)the last few items on a list (or the most recently presented information) are outputted more quickly and judged with greater memory strength than items in the middle of the list (or information studied later). The first few and last few items of information studied have an advantage in recall over middle list items which are respectively termed primacy and recency effect. 128.233.84.235 20:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
