English term or phrase: recognize something from earlier
For a cognitive test, the participant is shown a list of words, then the list is taken away and random words are shown. Some are from the list, some are new words.

If you do not ***recognize the word from earlier***, press the NO button as quickly as you can.

I'm trying to find a way to say this, but what I have so far is pretty cumbersome.

avoir vu quelque chose (aupar)avant


Explanation:
Si vous n'avez pas vu ce mot avant / si vous n'avez pas déjà vu ce mot.
Je pense qu'il faut s'éloigner légèrement de l'anglais pour éviter un calque peu naturel.
