The Recency bias module of the cognitive bias ontology
The Recency Bias is a cognitive bias where people give greater importance to recent events and information while discounting older data. This bias can affect decision-making and judgment, as recent experiences may carry more weight in evaluations and assessments.
In a job interview, a candidate performs exceptionally well in the final part of the interview. The interviewer, influenced by the Recency Bias, places disproportionate weight on this recent performance and is more likely to remember it and give it more significance in the evaluation, potentially overlooking earlier parts of the interview.

This property can be used to link a certain NewsProvider with a Media that the NewsProvider ows, e.g. Fox News Channel is owned by Fox Entertainment Group, which also owns other Media (FXX Channel, etc.). This is an universal property, it can be also used in different context (e.g. Ruslana owns a Persian cat).

A relation between a Concept and an Entity, e.g. the Role 'student' classifies a Person 'John'.
A Concept can have a Parameter that constrains the attributes that a classified Entity can have in a certain Situation.
A relation between entities, expressing a 'sequence' schema.
A relation between entities, expressing a 'sequence' schema. E.g. 'year 1999 precedes 2000', 'deciding what coffee to use' precedes 'preparing coffee', 'World War II follows World War I', 'in the Milan to Rome autoroute, Bologna precedes Florence', etc. It can then be used between tasks, processes, time intervals, spatially locate objects, situations, etc.

Influenced by the Recency bias the interviewer gives the job to the applicant.
The perception experience the individual is engaged in during the job interview.
The individual conducting the job interview.
The memory about the applicant not performing really well at the start of the interview.
The memory about the applicant performing really well in the really last part of the job interview.
The final decision the individual reaches as ending result of the decision-making process.
A memory that has been produced previously in the memory encoding process.

connects an activity to the entities involved in it.

The decision-making process carried out by the individual about the final outcome of the job interview.
A Factor affects the outcome of an Undertaking, which can be a goal-oriented activity or the maintenance of a desirable state, the work in a Field, or something portrayed as affecting an Interested_party.

This frame is concerned with Cognizers remembering and forgetting mental Content.
This frame contains general words for Individuals, i.e. humans. The Person is conceived of as independent of other specific individuals with whom they have relationships and independent of their participation in any particular activity.
This frame contains perception words whose Perceivers have perceptual experiences that they do not necessarily intend to. For this reason we call the Perceiver role Perceiver_passive. Comparing the Perception_experience frame to the Perception_active frame, we note that for some modalities there are different lexical items in each frame. For instance, whereas Perception_experience has see, Perception_active has look at. For other sense modalities, we find the same lexical items in both frames. To illustrate, consider the verb smell where I smell something rotten exemplifies its Perception_experience use and Smell this to see if it's fresh exemplifies its Perception_active sense. This frame also includes words which are not specific to any sense modality, including detect, perceive, perception, sense.
