Document Summary
Free recall: to recall something is to produce a response, as you do on essay tests or short-answer tests, usually underestimates the actual amount you know. Cued recall: receive significant hints about the material. Recognition: someone chooses the correct item among several options, people usually recognize more items than they recall. Savings method/relearning method: detects weak memories by comparing the speed of original learning to the speed of relearning. All the methods listed above are explicit/direct memory - someone who states an answer regards it as a product of memory. Implicit/indirect memory - an experience influences what you say or do even though you might not be aware of the influence. Reading or hearing a word temporarily results in priming that word and increasing the chance that you will use it yourself. Procedural memories (habit memory) are memories of how to do something and are a type of implicit memory.
