Serial position curve primacy effect: an effect in memory showing the best memory for info encoded. Ivs: no delay, 10 second delay with distractor task, 30 second delay with distractor recency effect reduced for delay conditions primacy effect same for all three conditions. Bjork and whitten (1974): ltm may also contribute to recency effects. The testing effect effect in memory showing better memory on information that has been tested in the retention interval as compared with other encoding of the information. Gure 6. 6 possible explanations: depth of encoding is increased by the additional recall task retrieval practice strengthens memories by strengthening the connection b/w cues for retrieval and the info to be retrieved.
