Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The recency effect occurs when the second message is remembered better than the first because there is a time gap between the two. Forgetting occurs if there is a delay between the two messages, leading to the recency effect. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Options B and C describe situations where the messages are not separated by enough time, and option D refers to conflicting messages, rather than the timing of message presentation.
