At Christmas when I was a kid, we played the tray game. Someone would go out of the room, place 10-15 household objects on a tray and bring it back into the room. The winner was the person with the largest recall of the items on the tray.
Active recall is a helpful skill when recalling information without a specific cue. But rarely is the challenge the amount of information. Unless of course, we forget who it is for, where they are at and the change we seek.
