Figure 1. Final-free recall as a function of recency of encoding.

Figure 1

We consider three classes of items: Those recalled in early output positions in immediate-free recall (IFR), those recalled in late output positions in IFR, and items that were not recalled in IFR, but were recalled during final-free recall. We observe a positive long-term recency effect across lists, and a negative-recency effect within lists. The negative-recency effect appears greatest for the items recalled in early output positions.
