Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recognition is the ability to identify something or someone previously experienced, without having to retrieve specific information or details from memory. In this scenario, the secret agent is looking at pictures of potential spies and using their ability to recognize the correct individual. Recall, on the other hand, would involve having to retrieve specific information from memory without cues or prompts, which is not the case in this scenario. Proactive interference and long-term potentiation are not relevant to this situation.
