Turn the experiment into a decision
01
What happened

02
Why it happened
Recognition uses visible cues while recall depends on limited working memory.
03
Where to apply it
Verification codes, multi-step forms, comparisons, setup instructions and complex data entry.
04
How to validate it
Compare completion, transcription errors and perceived effort with and without persistent context.
