You watch dozens of movies over break. You best remember the movies you watched at the beginning of break. This is known as:
A
Semantic encoding
B
Iconic memory
C
Primacy effect
D
Recency effect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, when an individual tries to remember something from a long list of words, they will remember words listed at the beginning, instead of the middle. The primacy effect aids an individual in recalling information they first see better than information presented later on.

Detailed explanation-2: -Memorizing a list of words is like running a marathon. There is the beginning, a very long middle that blurs together, and now it is the end. The primacy effect is the beginning; you remember it because that is where you started. The recency effect is the finish; you remember the end the best.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primacy effect is the tendency for individuals without neurological impairment to show enhanced memory for items presented at the beginning of a list relative to items presented in the middle of the list. At test, items presented at the beginning of a list are retrieved from long-term or secondary memory stores.

Detailed explanation-4: -EXAMPLES OF THE PRIMACY AND RECENCY BIASES Some illustrative examples of these persuasive biases are: Candidates for a job have a higher chance of being remembered (…and hired) if they are the first or last interviewee. You are more likely to remember the first and last speakers at a conference.
