Memory retrieval in which a person identifies an object, idea, or situation as one he or she has or has not experienced before (e.g. “Have you seen this?”)
Recall:
Memory retrieval in which a person reconstructs previously learned material (e.g. “What have you seen?”)

Reconstructive Process:

Confabulation:
The act of filling in memory gaps
Eidetic Memory:
The ability to remember with great accuracy visual information on the basis of short-term exposure
“Photographic Memory”

6. Review
