Document Summary
The primacy effect refers to the fact that when learning a new list of words recall is better for words: Located at the beginning of the list. Located in the middle of the list. Located at the end of the list. Something that we are familiar with and have expectations with influences what we remember. Estimate how fast the cars were going. When they smashed each other say that those were going faster due to schema. Way that we ask questions shape the answers that we might answer. Source misattribution: maybe overheard something and thought that it was related to the video that they had seen. Loft and colleagues have been looking at false memory. In some cases people were remembering things that never actually happen. Asked to write 4 stories 3 true and 1 false on being lost in the mall. Despite how they wrote picked the wrong memory.
