Question

Caitlin, a fifth grader, is asked to remember her second-grade teacher's name. What measure of retention will Caitlin use to answer this question?

Answer 1

Recalling

Step-by-step explanation:

In psychology, the term recalling refers to the act of retrieving information (already stored in the memory) from the past without an specific cue in order to retrieve the information. In other words, we are supposed to remember something without being given a clue.

In this example, Caitlin is asked to remember her second-grade teacher's name. She is supposed to remember the name but she's not given a cue in order to retrieve this information from her memory. Therefore she will use recalling.
