Memory - 2 types

Memory is mainly caused by two effects, namely primary effect and recency effect.

We tend to remember things in the earlier stages, like how we can remember ceteris paribus in our economics because it is in the beginning of our economics class, and how we know simultaneous equations in our Amaths because we learn it in our introductory lessons. And usually the middle part of the lesson, we tend to forget alot just like how our memory work.

Towards the end of every experience, we will tend to remember things more clearly, and thats is called the recency effect. Like during tests and exams, we do not focus on the last few lesson because we still remember what is taught, not because it is easy, but because it is still recent to us.

Likewise, if you seek to impress your prof for participation points, or impressing your boss, do remember that recency effect is only 50% the other part is the primary effect, impress at the first impression, den middle part juz slack off, hahaha....

Well, good lesson learn from my psycho. Ok, back to studies, big test tml. :)
