Multiple-route recall

 

Explanations > Memory > Multiple-route recall

Description | Discussion | So what?

 

Description

Multiple-route recall assumes that there are separate ways that recall happens.

In the direct route to recall, a cue leads directly to the triggering of a memory without any intermediate processing.

In the indirect route to recall, the cue leads to thought, inference and the generation of possibilities.

Discussion

Multiple-route recall assumes that single-route theories are just too simple. Jones (1982) describes two-route recall.

Direct-route recall has been linked to Encoding specificity principle, whilst indirect-route recall has been linked to Two-process theory.

So what?

If you want the other person to recall something, consider the processing that will likely be required to bring it back to memory.
