Jill and Ed were given a pile of old photos that contained classmates and students from other years. They were tasked with identifying their classmates. They were able to correctly identify 75% of them, which suggests that their memory task was based on recognition. This is because they were given a set of options (the photos in the pile), and they were able to choose the correct ones based on familiarity, rather than trying to recall the information from memory alone.
