In an experiment by Endel Tulving and Donald Thomson that is described in the textbook, participants were given a list of word pairs to learn and told they only had to remember the second word of each pair. Later they were asked to either recognize any second word of a pair that appeared on a list presented to them, or to recall the second word after being given the first word of the pair. It was found that the participants were
◦ better at recognizing the words from the list they generated.
◦ better at recalling the second words after being provided with the first words.
◦ equally successful at recognition and recall tasks.
◦ better at recovering memories when the context for remembering was changed.
