Morton moved from Alabama to Georgia ten years ago. "My fifth-grade teacher made us memorize the names of all the counties in Alabama," he tells his friend Rory. Rory tests Morton by giving him a list of thirty counties-15 Alabama counties, mixed in with 15 counties from other states. "Ok, pick out the Alabama counties," Rory challenges Morton. Which method does Rory's test use?

Rory's test uses recognition, as Morton is given a list of counties and must identify which ones are from Alabama. This is different from recall, where one must generate the information themselves without any cues or prompts.
