Primacy and recency are terms used in psychology to describe the effect of order of presentation on memory. The primacy effect results in information presented earlier being better remembered than information presented later on. The recency effect results in better recall of the most recent information presented. Together, these two effects result in the earliest and latest information in a given presentation being recalled best, with information in the middle being least remembered.
In a series of events (i.e. presentations, interviews, commercials, etc.): The primacy effect is the influence that the first stimulus that you see has on the individual. It is the first thing that you see so therefore it sticks... The Recency Effect is the influence of the last thing that you see. It is the last thing that you remember seeing, so therefore it is the accessible in your memory. In different situations the primacy of a stimulus may be more important than the recency, vis a versa is true. For example, if you are sitting through a long observation of interviews... say 10 hours (30 interviews), there is likely to be a recency effect. The last person interviewed will stick out the best in the intervewers memory, and if it was a good interview than there is a positive effect.
When recalling items in a series, the primacy effect is the tendency to recall those items that are first best. The recency effect is the tendency to recall those items that are last first.

Few would question the primacy of the senatorial class in ancient Roman society.
The tendency to recall the first few and last few items studies is known as the serial position effect. The tendency to recall the earlier items is called the primacy effect and the tendency to recall the last few is known as the recency effect. This is because the first few items studied have been transferred to Long Term Memory whilst the last few- most recent- are still in short term memory. I hope i have helped. :)
Recency of the serial position effect.
The law of primacy states that students retain information they learn for the first time longer then they retain information they must relearn. Unlearning bad habits is always harder than learning the right way in the first place.

I am on the primacy of doing that .
The definition of the word primacy is to be more important or a greater priority. It can also refer to the office of a primate of the Church. One example of primacy in a sentence would be "primacy for the investigation will have to be reviewed by the manager"
30 words. In my intro to psych class at Wayne state unversity we recently did this experiment. Be sure to mention the primacy and recency effect (being able to remember the frist and last words better than the middle words).
Church of the Primacy of St. Peter was created in 1933.
Primacy of love is a phrase often used in reference to Jesus or God. Since God is the source of love, this makes sense. Primacy refers to the source of something or the ultimate.
