Cued Recall


This is a component of a memory task in which the subject is asked to recall items that were presented to them on an intial training, or initial presentation list.

However, it is slightly different than the free recall task because the subject is given a hint, or a cue, about the items on the original list. For example, and experimenter may say: "Tell me all the words from the list that were animals".
