I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, which added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.

Answer:

The answer is the recency effect.

Explanation:

The recency effect states that people will remember the most recent information more easily. For example, if a person takes five subjects a day at school, he will probably remember the last class better than the previous four.

This phenomenon is related to the serial-positon effect, which states that the position of the items in a list influences the way we remember them. More specifically, we remember the items at the beginning and the end the best, and the middle ones the worst.

Human lives are guided by emotions that affect our everyday functioning and they include fear, sad, anger, bored, frustrated, etc. while it is difficult to define emotions, one can explain three components to understand emotions. They are subjective experience, physiological response, and expressive response. Everyone experiences emotional response and their reaction to it can help to ease the situation or make things worst. therefore it is important that decision is taken using emotional intelligence and it should make one learn appropriately.
