The thing about recognition is that you store a piece of data with a fairly precise "tag" a visual or auditory association, for example and thus you more rapidly identify the memory because often only that stimulus is linked with that stored information. Recall involves the same search method but without the helpful associative tag narrowing down the options. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.

Instead of asking users to list things from memory, try complementing or replacing empty form fields with defined, random, and intelligent choices to choose or rate.
Use visual imagery, auto-complete, and multiple-choice options. The effort associated with learning commands in the command-line interface made computers difficult to use. By presenting commands in menus in modern GUIs, the recalling commands from memory became obsolete and simplified the ease of use of computers. Minimize the need to recall information from memory whenever possible. Use easily accessible menus, multiple choice options, auto-complete suggestions, or visual imagery to aid decisions.
Recognition is triggered by context. With the radio on, we can sing the lyrics to thousands of songs. Recall works without context. With the radio off, our memories inevitably fade to black.
Recognition tasks provide memory cues that facilitate searching through memory why it is easier to recognize things than recall them from memory. Open-ended short answer questions provide no such memory cues, why the range of possibilities is much greater.
Seeing someone on the street and knowing that you know them is recognition, remembering their name is recall. Recall is a topic I have discussed on my blog before, or more specifically, how to make your recall memory better. There are three main parts to recall improvement: practice, recency, and prevalence. The more you are asked to remember something the quicker you can recall it each time.
If something is highly related to what you are working on, it is easier to recall. These are the keys to better recall but how do you improve recognition? Davis, R. Download references.
