Plato’s idea of recollection is that us humans were all born already possessing some sort of knowledge. Although, the theory is that we have forgotten this knowledge, and the only way we can recollect this knowledge is by discovering it again somehow. He is trying to say that our souls once knew everything we needed to know, but once it entered a body it forgot everything it once knew. This theory implies that nothing we know is ever learned, but that everything we know is remembered or we somehow recall that once known information. He also believed that we are all born with senses, meaning that we can somehow inner channel the things we once knew before, example being that most people know right from wrong without being taught it.
