What are the three 3 basic memory tasks used to measure forgetting

I'm looking for some help understanding what the three basic memory tasks used to measure forgetting are. I'm interested in learning more about how memory is measured and what the tasks involve, but I'm having trouble finding clear explanations online.

Subtitle: Basic Memory Tasks Used to Measure Forgetting

The ability to remember information is an important part of everyday life. To understand how well we remember, we need to measure forgetting. There are three basic memory tasks that are used to measure forgetting: free recall, recognition, and cued recall.

Free Recall
Free recall is a memory task that requires the participant to recall a list of items without any prompts. This type of memory task measures the ability to remember information without any cues or prompts. It is a good tool for assessing short-term memory.

Recognition
The recognition memory task is a type of memory task in which the participant is presented with a list of items and then asked to identify which items were on the list. This type of memory task is useful for assessing both short-term and long-term memory.

Cued Recall
Cued recall is a type of memory task in which the participant is presented with a list of items and then asked to recall the items when given a prompt or cue. This type of memory task is useful for assessing both short-term and long-term memory. It is also useful for assessing the ability to remember in the presence of interference.

The three basic memory tasks used to measure forgetting are recall, recognition, and relearning. Recall tasks require participants to remember information from a previously encountered event. Recognition tasks require participants to identify previously encountered information from a list of items. Lastly, relearning tasks measure how much of a previously learned task has been forgotten by requiring participants to relearn the task with fewer errors than the first time. These three tasks measure forgetting by assessing how much of the information has been retained over time.

The three basic memory tasks used to measure forgetting are encoding, storage, and retrieval. Encoding is the initial step in the memory process, and involves taking in new information and processing it to make it meaningful. Storage is the process of retaining the information for a period of time, and may involve rehearsal or other mental activities to help keep the information available. Finally, retrieval is the process of accessing the information when it is needed and recalling it accurately.

The three basic memory tasks used to measure forgetting are recall, recognition, and relearning.

Recall is the process of remembering information or retrieving it from memory without any external cues. For example, a researcher might ask a participant to recall a list of words that they have previously heard or seen. The researcher would then measure the amount of words the participant can recall without any cues.

Recognition is the process of recognizing previously encountered information. In this task, the researcher presents a list of words and then presents the same words in a different order. The participant then indicates which words they have previously seen. This task measures the participant's ability to recognize which words they have previously encountered.

Relearning is the process of relearning previously learned information. This task requires the participant to learn some information and then after a period of time, they are asked to learn the same information again. The amount of time it takes the participant to relearn the information is measured. This task measures how quickly the participant can relearn the information and how much of it they can retain.

These three tasks are used to measure forgetting because they provide an indication of how information is retained and forgotten over time. By measuring how quickly the participant can recall, recognize, and relearn information, researchers can get an idea of how well the participant is able to remember and retain information.

The three basic memory tasks used to measure forgetting are: free recall, recognition, and cued recall. Free recall involves a participant being asked to recall words or other information without any cues or prompts. Recognition involves a participant being presented with a list of items and then asked to identify which ones they remember seeing on the list. Cued recall involves a participant being presented with partial information or a cue related to an item that they need to recall. All three tasks measure forgetting in different ways, allowing researchers to better understand the nature of memory and how it can be impacted by different factors.

The three basic memory tasks used to measure forgetting are free recall, cued recall, and recognition tests. Free recall requires the subject to recall a list of items without any assistance. Cued recall tasks require subjects to recall items when given a hint or clue. Lastly, recognition tasks involve the subject being presented with a list of items and asked to identify which ones they have seen previously.
