Detailed explanation-1: -Retrieval failure is where the information is in long term memory, but cannot be accessed. Such information is said to be available (i.e. it is still stored) but not accessible (i.e. it cannot be retrieved). It cannot be accessed because the retrieval cues are not present.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main processes that characterize how memory works. These processes are encoding, storage, and retrieval (or recall).
Detailed explanation-3: -The one possible explanation as to why we have trouble remembering information stored in the LTM is it depends on how it was encoded for storage in the first place. A person’s memory of “how to” solve a math problem was probably stored in his or her procedural memory.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Decay theory is a theory that proposes that memory fades due to the mere passage of time. Information is therefore less available for later retrieval as time passes and memory, as well as memory strength, wears away. When an individual learns something new, a neurochemical “memory trace” is created.
