Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primacy effect refers to our tendency to better remember items that are presented first in a list, while the recency effect refers to our ability to better remember items that are presented last. Since the prompt specifies that the names were recalled a week after they were listed in order, the recency effect is unlikely to be a major factor in the recall. However, the primacy effect suggests that the earlier names on the list may have been better remembered, which makes D the best answer. Implicit memory refers to memory that is expressed without conscious effort, while iconic memory refers to the brief sensory memory of visual stimuli.
