The primacy effect causes better memory of the first items in a list due to increased rehearsal and commitment to long-term memory.

The results of this study demonstrated two different types of phenomena : the primacy effect and the disproportionate effect of certain types of words.

This result resembles the " irrational primacy effect " in which people give greater weight to information that occurs earlier in a series.

To the extent it does exist, its almost certainly does so in niche areas of cognition, as in the case of the primacy effect.

As a result, items at the beginning of the list are made more likely to be recalled in a free-recall task ( primacy effect ).

One study, conducted by Bansback, Li, Lynd, and Bryan ( 2014 ), demonstrates that a primacy effect will influence the decision for treatment.

Amnesiacs with poor ability to form permanent long-term memories do not show a primacy effect, but do show a recency effect if recall comes immediately after study.

Primacy and Recency Effects : Primacy effects refer to better recall of items earlier in the sequence, while recency effects refer to better recall of the last few items.
19.
This study predicts that the recency effect is stronger than the primacy effect because the information that is most recently learned is still in working memory when asked to be recalled.

Also, products placed in the first half of a movie tend to be remembered better than products in the second half of a movie, which demonstrates the primacy effect.
