Educational Psychology / Unit 5 EDP 0419 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Recall, Recognition and Relearning
Captions available
The idea
Retrieval takes three forms: recall, producing information without cues; recognition, identifying it among options; and relearning, mastering it faster the second time.
In practice
An essay test demands recall; a multiple-choice test asks for recognition.
Where people slip
Relearning shows that information can be stored even when it cannot be recalled or recognized.
