With celebrity yearbook photos! Recall vs. Recognition With celebrity yearbook photos!
Instructions I will show you an old school photo of a celebrity and ask you to identify who it is with no hints. This is testing your recall – I am asking you to recall all of the celebrities you’ve ever seen that could possibly fit your impression of the picture. You’ll find that this is probably pretty tough. Next, I will offer you a list of possible celebrities to choose from that might belong to that photo (like a multiple choice test). This is testing your recognition – by asking you to choose the answer from a list of possibilities, you will probably find that when you have the opportunity to recognize the individual in question, it is easier to come up with a match. Ready?
