Recall involves retrieving information from memory with minimal cues or prompts. On the other hand, recognition involves identifying whether a particular item or stimulus is new or old based on previous exposure. While recall requires participants to explicitly remember information and produce it without any clues or cues, recognition relies on familiarity and implicit memory cues to determine whether a particular item is previously encountered or not.
