Formal Operational Reasoning and the Primacy Effect in Impression Formation.
Palmquist, Wendy Jean
Developmental Psychology, v15 n2 p185-89 Mar 1979
Results showed that when information about a target individual was presented in two internally consistent blocks which were mutually contradictory, impressions produced by concrete operational adolescents contained a significantly greater proportion of evaluative statements in the same evaluative direction as the first block of information presented (primacy effect) than did impressions produced by formal operational adolescents.
