Discussion
The process of bringing back the information stored in memory to current state is called _____________.
Answer: C
The process is called retrieval.
Memory is usually described in three stages: encoding (taking information in), storage (keeping it over time) and retrieval (bringing stored information back into conscious use when it is needed). Recalling an answer in an exam is retrieval.
Forgetting is the failure to retrieve. Decay is one explanation of forgetting, the fading of a memory trace with time and disuse. Attention is the selection of information at the start of the process, before it is encoded, not the act of bringing it back.
