Key papers
Yoo, M., Bahg, G., Turner, B. M., & Krajbich, I. (2025). People display consistent recency and primacy effects in behavior and neural activity across perceptual and value-based judgments. Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 25(4), 923-940. What it reports: Participants continuously reported the average intensity of sequences in perceptual and value-based tasks while brain activity was recorded. Weighting curves were similar across tasks, typically a strong recency bias with a smaller primacy bias, and stronger primacy went with more activity in regions linked to cognitive control.
Key ideas
The Recency Effect: the advantage of whatever comes last, seen in long sequences and expert judges
