Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Memory retrieval involves the interaction between external sensory or internally generated cues and stored memory traces (or engrams) in a process termed ‘ecphory’. While ecphory has been examined in human cognitive neuroscience research, its neurobiological foundation is less understood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The act of getting information out of memory storage and back into conscious awareness is known as retrieval . This would be similar to finding and opening a paper you had previously saved on your computer’s hard drive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Memory recall or retrieval is remembering the information or events that were previously encoded and stored in the brain. Retrieval is the third step in the processing of memory, with first being the encoding of memory and second, being the storage of the memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Memory Retrieval STM is stored and retrieved sequentially. For example, if a group of participants are given a list of words to remember, and then asked to recall the fourth word on the list, participants go through the list in the order they heard it in order to retrieve the information.

Detailed explanation-5: -Learn about three types of retrieval: free recall, cued recall, and recognition.
