I&#8217;ve noticed after more than a decade serving the public as a memory expert with one of the most watched TEDx Talks on memory issues:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper recall can only happen after at least these other levels of memory have succeeded first:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noticing and recognizing the importance of information (like someone\u2019s name)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encoding (making an effort to remember)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decoding (making an effort to recall)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only after these stages have succeeded do you have memory recall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now you know one of the major reasons we forget: Something has interrupted the retrieval and recall process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We <\/span><b><i>can<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We just need to know more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-memory-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how our memory works<\/a>, so let\u2019s dive in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Recall Vs. Retrieval: What&#8217;s the Difference?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In brief, &#8220;retrieval&#8221; refers to the general process of how your brain interacts with your mind to access information you&#8217;ve stored in memory.<\/p>\n<p>Recall, on the other hand, refers to a specific type of retrieval. It often involves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A conscious request to remember something, such as in a conversation or when completing a test.<\/li>\n<li>The use of cues, such as when something in the environment &#8220;triggers&#8221; a memory.<\/li>\n<li>Effort, like when you deliberately try to remember an important detail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Understanding the difference between retrieval as a whole and recall is useful in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/memory-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">memory science<\/a> because it helps with making accurate cognitive assessments.<\/p>\n<p>I find the distinction helpful in my teaching as well because it helps me figure out what kinds of memory problems various people are actually facing. Often people looking for help simply say that they&#8217;re having issues in a general way. Thanks to these distinctions, it&#8217;s easier and faster to give memory training recommendations that are likely to work.<\/p>\n<p>The distinction has also been useful in court. As this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/319674329_Discrepancy_detection_in_the_retrieval-enhanced_suggestibility_paradigm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research paper<\/a> demonstrates, how and when people involved in accidents or criminal cases recall case details can create distortions. Elizabeth Loftus is one of the most important researchers in this area and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/315917942_If_I'm_Certain_Is_It_True_Accuracy_and_Confidence_in_Eyewitness_Memory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">papers like this<\/a> provide a great way to learn more about recall and retrieval in real world situations.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>The 3 Forms of Memory Retrieval<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge of learning about recall is that it\u2019s not just one thing. Memory retrieval happens in several different ways that are related to other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/stages-of-memory\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stages of memory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but are ultimately different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These forms are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free recall<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cued recall<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serial recall<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Free recall<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows you to retrieve information in any order. For example, if you watch a movie, you can tell your friend about the middle first, then the end before talking about the beginning.
