What is the difference between recall, recognition, and relearning?
0:27
Recall requires retrieving information from memory without cues, like answering an essay question or remembering a name. It is the most demanding memory task. Recognition involves identifying previously learned information from a set of options, like answering a multiple-choice question or recognizing a face. It is easier because the correct answer serves as its own retrieval cue. Relearning measures how much faster you learn something the second time compared to the first, even if you cannot consciously recall or recognize the material.
