Recognition is superior to recall when the distractors used are dissimilar to the correct item, meaning when the options presented to the individual are clearly different from each other and from the correct answer. When the distractors are similar to the correct answer, it can lead to confusion and difficulty in distinguishing the correct answer from the other options.
