    • Retrieval failure
      A form of forgetting. It occurs when we don't have the necessary cues to access memory. The memory is available but not accessible unless a suitable cue is provided.
    • Cue
      A 'trigger' of information that allows us to access a memory. Such cues may be meaningful or may be indirectly linked by being encoded at the same time of learning. For example, cues may be external or internal.
    • External cue
      Environmental context
    • Internal cue
      Mood or degree of drunkeness
