recollected
Brought to mind
Recollected is the past tense of recollect, meaning to remember or call back to mind: She recollected their first meeting vividly.
It often suggests deliberate retrieval of memory rather than spontaneous recall: He paused, trying to recollect where he'd left the keys.
As an adjective, recollected describes memories that have been retrieved: recollected impressions of childhood.
