"okay, your recital is next saturday night," candy reminded her piano student. "you're doing great but for the next couple of days, i want you to practice by starting with the middle third of the piece until you've got it down perfectly." —as a piano teacher, candy is trying to her student counteract which of the following memory tendencies?

The serial position effect .

Explanation:

When learning something, we tend to retain best the very first as well as the very last information that we stumble upon. This is called serial position effect.

Primacy effect refers to a significantly better memorization of the first part of a text or a lesson while recency effect indicates that the most recent information is better memorized.

Keeping this in mind we understand that Candy is very well aware of this phenomenon, indirectly instructing her students how to overcome it.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
