Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A retrieval cue is
A
a brain structure stimulus used to locate a particular memory
B
the same thing as an elaboration encoding variable
C
a stimulus associated with a memory that is used to locate that memory
D
always based on the mood you were in when a memory was first encoded
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Retrieval cues are stimuli that make memories easier to access. It is any stimuli that are connected to a specific memory. The degree to which a retrieval cue (the stimulus) matches the memory coding used to describe the stored object determines how effective it is.

Detailed explanation-2: -Retrieval cues are aspects of an individual’s physical and cognitive environment which aid the recall process; they can be explicitly provided at recall, self-generated, or encountered more incidentally through the retrieval context (Pansky et al., 2005).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Retrieval cues are stimuli that assist in memory retrieval. In other words, retrieval cues help you access memories stored in long-term memory and bring them to your conscious awareness. The presence of retrieval cues can make recalling memories much easier.

Detailed explanation-5: -Retrieval cues make accessible a potentially forgotten extinction memory activated into working memory, an effect associated with extinguished responding.
