Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the person is more likely to recall opponents at the beginning of the schedule than opponents in the middle or end indicates a primacy effect, which refers to a tendency to remember items at the beginning of a list better than those in the middle or end. Consolidation refers to the process by which memories become stable and long-lasting, and depth-of-processing refers to how deeply information is processed during encoding, which can affect memory retention but is not applicable in the given scenario.
