Have you ever experienced a day where you woke up and just couldn’t remember anything? It was an off day, and your not really used to these. Sometimes a quick memory jog like simple item recognition could restore your thoughts, but Scientists Andrew Parker and his colleagues at Manchester Metropolitan University in England have proven that just simple eye movement for 30 seconds could be the choice fix.

Recognition memory differs from recall memory in that people trying to recognize words tend to make false memory errors called source monitoring errors. This occurs when they recognize words but attribute their familiarity to the wrong source—they might think they just read the words, when they had actually heard them in a conversation earlier that day, for example.
