Long-Term Recency Is Not Found on a Recognition Test.

Glenberg, Arthur M.; Kraus, Thomas A.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v7 n6 p475-79 Nov 1981

The results of this study disconfirm the predictions of the decay hypothesis because long-term recency effects appear to result from the use of contextually based retrieval cues. Long-term recency effects were attenuated on immediate recognition tests, while long-term recency effects were found on free recall tests. (DWH)
