'''Active recall''' is a way of reviewing information by actively trying to remember it, without (initially) accessing the answer. For general context, see [[summary table of methods of recall]].

=== Active recall as an idea ===

The idea behind active recall is the [[testing effect]], which says that knowledge gets reinforced more by actively attempting to recall it (i.e., by being tested on it) than just by being exposed to it again. In this broad sense, the more one tries to recall, the more "active" one's recall is.
