Topic 2.6: Retrieving Memories
Learning Objective: 2.6.A

Essential Knowledge: 2.6.A.1
The process of memory retrieval occurs through recall (remembering without cues) or recognition (which relies on retrieval cues).
Essential Knowledge: 2.6.A.2
The process of memory retrieval can be enhanced when people are in the same environmental space (context-dependent memory), mood (mood-congruent memory), or physical state (state-dependent memory) as they were when they encoded the information to be retrieved.
Essential Knowledge: 2.6.A.3
Successful retrieval is more likely when using retrieval practice processes, including testing effect and metacognition.
