name recall
Retrieving someone's title
Name recall is the ability to retrieve someone's name from memory, especially when seeing their face or thinking of them.
Poor name recall is a common complaint: I recognized her immediately but my name recall failed me completely.
The term appears in memory research and everyday conversation about forgetfulness.
