Ms. Charlayine used to assign tasks that required the students to answer multiple-choice-type questions. She has now decided to change the format of her activities to fill-in-the-blank and essay questions. The students complain because they feel that now they have to relearn how to study for her class. In the context of memory, identify the changes in the type of retrieval task.

What will be an ideal response?


Ms. Charlayine previously assigned only recognition tasks, which are memory tasks in which students need not recall a correct answer from memory; they only need to recognize the correct answer. Such recognition is involved when answering multiple-choice questions. However, she has now switched to recall tasks, which require the students to recall, not recognize, previously learned information. Thus, recall is involved with fill-in-the-blank and essay questions.
