Recall

Answer
The recall is the retrieval of information from LTM with few or no cues. Recall can be in the written form or it can be oral.
The recall involves remembering a fact, event, or object that is not currently physically present and requires the direct uncovering of information from memory.
The recall is of two types, viz. free recall and serial recall.
Free recall is a recollection of the items in the list without their serial order, e.g. we may listen to a lecture and later recall few important points irrespective of the order in which they were presented.
In serial recall, the material is recalled in the exact order in which it was presented, e.g. when you solve a mathematical problem, you are doing steps one after the other; so, it is serial recall.
The recall is greatly affected by emotions and motivation at the time of learning and retrieval.
Also, memory for the free recall is always better than if the subjects are asked to recall in a serial order.
