Measuring Memory Part 2

Recognition: This is much simpler than Recall because all the information is laid out on the table, but you just need to choose the correct one. A multiple choice question is an example. Recall asks what, while Recognition asks Is this it.

Relearning: I believe that everyone can relate to this. Let's say that somebody gets a deck of cards and asks you to play a game that you remember playing as a kid, but you don't remember how. At that point' relearning begins. When the person who offers to play with you begins to explain the rules, they will sink in immediately and much faster than you originally learned it. Another example is for college kids, they may remember taking geometry, but not so much how to solve some problems. As soon as they start reteaching themselves, it comes back instantly. Relearning onl works if you have some memory of the topic at hand from the past.
