Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recognition is the memory task used to identify previously encountered information or stimuli. Jane learned the names of fruits from a picture book, and when she was taken to the grocery store, she was asked to identify the fruits, which she had seen in the book before. Therefore, she used recognition to identify the apples and melons kept in the store. Rehearsal is the process of repeating information to maintain it in short-term memory, Consolidation is the process of converting short-term memories into long-term memories, and Recall is the ability to retrieve information from long-term memory. None of these processes are directly involved in Jane's task of identifying the fruits in the grocery store.
