Any stimulus that helps us recall information in long-term memory. The fact that retrieval cues can provoke powerful recollections has led some researchers to speculate that perhaps all memories are permanent. That is, perhaps nearly all experiences are recorded in memory for a lifetime, and all forgetting is due not to the actual loss of memories but to our inability to retrieve them. This idea is an interesting one, but most memory researchers believe it is probably wrong.

The process of obtaining information stored in memory is called retrieval. It involves accessing and bringing to consciousness the stored data, which can occur through various cues, such as context or specific triggers. Retrieval can be influenced by factors like the strength of the memory trace, the effectiveness of the cues, and the individual’s current mental state. Successful retrieval can lead to recalling or recognizing previously learned information.

encoding. Rehearsal involves the process of actively repeating and processing information to transfer it from short-term to long-term memory, similar to how encoding involves transforming information into a meaningful memory representation.
A context cue is something that cues an onlooker in to how something should be viewed. For example, if someone talked at length about rabbits and Watership Down and how a friend of theirs has two pet bunnies, and then asked you to write the word "hare," you would spell it like that, h-a-r-e. However, if someone told a story about a trip to the salon, and how their friend got highlights and layers, and how they really need a new brush, and then asked you to write the word "hair," you would spell it h-a-i-r.
The least sensitive measure of retention in triggering retrieval is often the "recognition" method. Recognition tasks typically require individuals to identify previously learned information from a set of options, making it easier to retrieve than recall tasks, which require active retrieval without cues. Because recognition relies on familiar cues, it may not effectively capture the depth of memory retention compared to recall measures.
Retrieval failure in memory occurs when information is stored but cannot be accessed. Common examples include the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon, where a person knows they know something but can't recall it at that moment, and forgetting the name of a familiar face. Contextual cues, such as being in a different environment, can also lead to retrieval failure, as the lack of relevant prompts makes it harder to access the stored information. Additionally, interference from similar memories can obstruct retrieval, making it difficult to recall specific details.

In cognitive psychology, the concept of association of ideas can be applied to understand memory retrieval by recognizing that memories are interconnected and can be triggered by related thoughts or cues. By studying how different ideas or concepts are linked in the mind, researchers can better understand how memories are retrieved and how associations between ideas can influence memory recall.
