Question

Joffrey’s wife asked him to go to the store and buy milk, bacon, apples, juice, butter, and cereal. Joffrey did not write down the items, and ended up only remembering to buy milk and bacon at the store. The fact that Joffrey only remembered milk and bacon demonstrates the ________ effect.

Answer 1

Answer:Primacy effect

Explanation:

Primacy effect can be described as our part of the memory that makes it easier for us to easily encode only the names at the top of the listed items, like number one and two items will be easier to remember than number 4 to 10 on the list.

The most common reasons is that these are the items that we read first on the list so we have plenty of time to recall them .

It is very likely that we will keep memorising the first items and reserve them in our short term memory which may result into us transferring them into a long term memory.

The other reason is how difficult that information is that we are trying to recall or how crucial that piece information is to you .

You are most likely to recall the information that is vital to you than that which is not vital to you, the information that is vital to you is mostly restored to your long term memory.

In conclusion primacy effect refers to how effective it is for us to remember certain list of items based on the time we had to memorise it.

The more time we have to memorise the list the higher it is to remember it.
