Being Told the Information
When you are introduced to someone for the first time and told their name, if you don’t see them again for a year you might struggle to remember their name when you next meet.

Re-exposure to Information
After speaking to the person that you have been introduced to multiple times during the year, it’s almost certain you WILL remember because your brain is forced to use active recall to retrieve their name.

Actively Recalling Information
Active Recall is a way of compelling the brain to do something instead of expecting it to absorb information. It is the most valuable of all techniques for embedding knowledge in long-term memory, & playing quizzes is a prime example of how.
