AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -As such, memory plays a crucial role in teaching and learning. There are three main processes that characterize how memory works. These processes are encoding, storage, and retrieval (or recall).

Detailed explanation-3: -Retrieval is the process of getting information out of memory. Retrieval cues are stimuli that can be used to help retrieve memories. Priming is the process of identifying traces (perhaps associations made at the time the memory was formed) that lead to a memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Memory is today defined in psychology as the faculty of encoding, storing, and retrieving information (Squire, 2009). Psychologists have found that memory includes three important categories: sensory, short-term, and long-term.

Detailed explanation-5: -In order for a memory to go into storage (i.e., long-term memory), it has to pass through three distinct stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and finally Long-Term Memory. These stages were first proposed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin (1968).
