Recency and Salience Biases

Biases in which the most recent, most striking or most attended information carries too much weight in judgment. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article says recent or salient information is favored. Every member sits in the Psychology Atlas as its own page with a definition, cited sources and links to related effects, so the group works as a reading path through Recency and Salience Biases rather than as a claim that the members share one cause. Where scholars disagree about how an effect should be classified, the member page says so.
