The recency effect is a serial position effect evident by a person's better recall of more recent information than recall of earlier information.
The effect is based on the work of Hermann Ebbinghaus who studied the capacity to remember lists. Items at the end of the list (the most recent items) were recalled better than those in the middle. Those items at the beginning were also recalled better than those in the middle (primacy effect).
