A recall task is one in which the individual must reproduce information without any cues, such as in a free recall task where a list of words is presented and then the individual must recall them in any order without any prompts or cues. Encoding specificity refers to the idea that a retrieval cue must match the way information was initially encoded for effective retrieval, elaboration refers to the process of adding meaning and detail to information to make it more memorable, and recognition refers to the identification of previously encountered information among a set of options.
