Answer» - The recall is the retrieval of information from LTM with few or no cues. Recall can be in the written form or it can be oral.
- The recall involves remembering a fact, event, or object that is not currently physically present and requires the direct uncovering of information from memory.
- The recall is of two types, viz. free recall and serial recall.
- Free recall is a recollection of the items in the list without their serial order, e.g. we may listen to a lecture and later recall few important points irrespective of the order in which they were presented.
- In serial recall, the material is recalled in the exact order in which it was presented, e.g. when you solve a mathematical problem, you are doing steps one after the other; so, it is serial recall.
- The recall is greatly affected by emotions and motivation at the time of learning and retrieval.
- Also, memory for the free recall is always better than if the subjects are asked to recall in a serial order.
