Recognition is remembering information you have been exposed to while recall is dredging up information without seeing it. Recall is better for a study strategy because it means your brain is working harder, building neural Connections in the process.

Describe the two parts and processes of dual coding.

The two parts are verbal information in nonverbal information. For example, if you hear someone talking to you that will be stored in the verbal information, but if you heard a sound not associated with language, then it would be stored in the non-verbal. This process happens when a person is reading a text and there were pictures to accompany it. Your brain is taking in both verbal and nonverbal information.
