Recall can be for recognition {recognition memory}. Memory can be about whether stimulus is familiar or not, was in place or at time, or associates with name or image.
process
To recognize if symbol is in short-term memory, people compare features. Matching determines recognition. With no overlap, knowledge of no match is rapid.
properties
Recognition is better for incidental learning than for deliberate learning. Recognition is typically better than recall, unless semantic association is very strong. Memory organization and repetition affect recognition memory and recall memory in same way, but word frequency, associations, presentation rate, concreteness, meaning, and imagery do not affect recognition memory and recall memory in same way, because some items are more and some less noticeable than others, and this affects recognition {mirror effect, recognition}.
