Recognition is the memory retrieval process where a person identifies an object, person, or situation previously encountered, among a set of alternatives. In this case, the eyewitness is trying to recognize the criminal from a lineup of suspects. Recall involves remembering information from memory without any cues, rehearsal is repeating information over and over to aid in memory, and relearning involves learning previously learned information again.
