The Brain and Memory

Question 6 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Explain chunking, recency effect, and primacy effect in regards to short-term memory when more than nine items of unrehearsed information are taken in.

Answer

Answer:

Chunking means grouping individual pieces of information into meaningful units, which helps short-term memory manage more than nine items. The primacy effect is remembering items from the beginning of a list especially well, often because they receive more rehearsal. The recency effect is remembering items from the end of the list especially well because they are still active in short-term memory.
