Document Summary
To recall something is to produce a response, as you do on essay tests or short-answer tests. free recall almost always understates the actual amount you know: cued recall. Your accuracy improves with cued recall, in which you receive significant hints about the material: recognition chooses the correct item among several options. people usually recognize more items than they recall. Ex. multiple choices: saving method = relearning method. Detects weak memories by comparing the speed of original learning to the speed of relearning. You save time when you relearn something. The amount of time saved (time needed for original learning - the time for relearning) is a measure of memory: implicit memory. Test of explicit memory (direct): free recall, cued recall, recognition, and savings. = someone who states an answer regards it as a product of memory. Implicit memory (indirect memory) = an experience influences what you say or do even though you might not be aware of the influence.
