Plain English Meaning

It is the learner's ability to bring back what they were taught earlier and use it correctly during a lesson. How well they remember depends on how clearly they understood it the first time and how often they have practiced or used it.

Full Definition

In aviation instruction, the process by which a learner retrieves previously taught information, skills, or procedures from memory and applies them during flight or ground training. It depends on how well the material was originally encoded, how meaningfully it was practiced, and how often it has been recalled or used since being taught.

Context Anchor

Seen in instructor training material about how students learn, practice, retain, and apply aviation knowledge and flying skills.

Derivation

Remember comes from older words meaning to be mindful of again. That helps here because the point is not just storing information once, but being able to bring it back when the next lesson or flight task calls for it.
