Document Summary

Memory: the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information. Recall: retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time: a fill in the blank question tests your recall. Recognition: identifying items previously learned: a multiple choice question tests your recognition. Relearning: learning something more quickly when you learn it a second or later time: when you study for a final exam you will relearn the material faster than you did initially - review.
