• What is retrieval in the context of memory?

  Accessing stored information to use it
• What are the three different types of retrieval?

  • Recognition: Identifying previously learned information from options
  • Cued recall: Remembering with the help of a clue
  • Free recall: Remembering without any clues
• What is storage in the context of memory?

  Holding information to be retrieved later
• What does recognition relate to in memory retrieval?

  Identifying previously learned information

  Being given a clue to remember
• What is free recall?
