question 1. why is recall more difficult than recognition?
question 2. solely relying on recognition to get you through situations can sometimes be problematic. this is especially true on exams. for example, if you can recognize a concept’s definition but cannot generate that same definition from memory, you may not know the concept as well as you thought you did. that may get you into trouble if you have an essay exam rather than a multiple-choice exam. what are some ways that you can more deeply process information so that you can be more confident in your mastery of a concept? in other words, how can you ensure that you can both recognize and recall a concept?
question 3: many people think their memories are like camcorders, believing that to remember something, they just have to rewind the recording and press “play,” after which the memory will unfold exactly as it originally happened. we do not tend to think about the possibility of that memory being inaccurate through distortion. we just saw this happen when some people “recalled” the word sleep and then confidently rated it as being a part of the original list. what forms of memory distortion contributed to them doing this?
