"Recency bias" nghĩa là gì?

"Recency bias" = định kiến do những tác động gần đây -> nghĩa là xu hướng tin những chuyện thường xuất hiện gần đây có thể tiếp tục xuất hiện trong tương lai ngay cả khi về lâu dài thì không phải vậy.

Ví dụ
CBS Sports' Hey Nineteen power rankings is a weekly encapsulation (tóm lược, gói gọn) of the 19 hottest and most successful teams in college basketball as of late, combining team quality with win quality and leaving no shame for recency bias while rewarding significant winning streaks. 

But even then, as much as I'm happy for Ronaldo to take home the top prize, there seems to be an overall recency bias because it's scandalous to see so many older legends get so few votes.

What 2020 had was the COVID-19 pandemic and its extensive and comprehensive disruption of communities and commerce and an extraordinarily divisive presidential election. Perhaps it’s recency bias, but it feels like 2020, even without a war, belongs in consideration for worst year ever. There is also the fact that 1918 and 1968 lacked the internet and social media, which seems to create the potential for a 24/7 pummeling of bad news. So, perhaps it wasn’t the worst year ever, but just felt like it.
