![]() ![]() (Re-read above to see how this supports the MSM).However, in the DFR-30 group only the primacy effect was present and the longer the delay, the more reduced was the recency effect (see graph below). Delayed Free Recall Condition (DRF) – 30 seconds: wrote words down after a delay of 30 seconds.Like Peterson and Peterson’s study, participants had a distraction task during the delay and had to count backwards in 3s to prevent further rehearsal.The results showed that when there was no delay in recall (IFR) the primacy and recency effect was demonstrated as per usual. Listening to a tape recording of words read out) and they are then asked to write down in any order (free) as many words as they can remember (recall).ĭelayed Free Recall Condition (DRF) – 10 seconds: wrote words down after a delay of 10 seconds. This is when participants are exposed to a list of words (e.g. This can be shown in Glanzer and Cuntiz’s famous study.The Primacy and Recency Effect (Glanzer and Cunitz, 1966)A common method used to investigate memory is using free recall. Information in the middle may be lost because of the limited capacity of the STS. They tend to remember the most recent information because it is still in their STS. ![]() This provides evidence for the MSM: people tend to remember the first items because they have longer to rehearse the information and they may have paid more attention to it, so it has a higher probability of being transferred to the LTS. The following has been adapted from IB Psychology: A Student’s Guide Evidence for MSM: Serial position effect (primacy and recency effects)The serial position effect (aka primacy and recency effect) is a cognitive phenomenon whereby people tend to remember the first (primacy) and last (recency) items in a series. ![]()
