Cued recall

Cued recall is a memory process where you retrieve information with specific prompts or hints. Instead of trying to recall something entirely on your own, you are given clues that help trigger your memory. For example, if you're asked to remember a list of words and are given the first letter of each word as a cue, that aids your recall. This method is often used in academic tests or memory research because it is easier to access stored information when provided with relevant cues, highlighting how contextual hints can support memory retrieval.
