Abstract

The tripartite framework of memory - encoding, storage, and retrieval - has dominated memory research. It is true that without encoding and storage, retrieval is unlikely. But the converse is truer; without retrieval, it is not possible to detect whether encoding or storage occurred. In fact, retrieval can occur even in the absence of encoding - as in the case of false memories. Given the fundamental role of retrieval in providing measures of memory, we review retrieval processes involved in six key phenomena: (1) task differences, (2) encoding and retrieval interactions, (3) retrieval mode, (4) repeated retrieval, (5) retrieval in a social context, and (6) retrieval errors and other retrieval effects.
