It's Easier to Recognize Information than Recall It

​​         Being able to relate new information with old information is one of the easiest ways to remember something, mostly because it gives the information context. This is something that most people experience when meeting new family members. When someone introduces a new face as "so and so's daughter" you instantly have context as to who this person is, making it much easier to recall when the person is being talked about. Recalling Information out of thin air is much harder than recognizing it.
