Self-Referential Recall

Usually, this recall is tested via a self-referential encoding task (SRET). This task involves participants reading a list of positive and negative adjectives. They are then asked if each adjective describes them or not. After making these judgments, the participants are asked to recall as many adjectives as possible. Biases are determined by the difference in positive and negative adjectives recalled from the initial list.
