retrieval

• retrieval is the process of accessing or recalling information stored in memory when it is needed.


  E.g- remembering how to cook a boiled egg.
• What is the final stage in the memory process?

  Retrieval
• Retrieval is crucial because, without it, stored memories would be inaccessible.
• Retrieval: When we want to use information from LTM, it is retrieved back to STM.
• RETRIEVAL-

  The process of accessing stored memories is known as retrieval. this involved the reactivation of the neural code that was initially encoded during encoding.

  • Retrieval can be triggered by cues or reminders that are associated with the memory.
• Memory can be retrieved through many methods such as recognition, for example when students are given multiple choice questions, they are given clues to enable the retrieval process.

  • Cued recall can also help. For example when you smell a smell which was there at the time of encoding.
  • Or free recall when a person just recalls without the clues or cues.
