This statement is true. Ease of recall bias refers to the tendency to rely more heavily on easily recalled information. Managers may be more likely to recall actions taken by employees who work in closer proximity to them, and therefore may overvalue their successes and failures. In order to avoid this bias, managers should make a conscious effort to discount the importance of proximity and give equal weight to the actions of all employees.
