Question

current attempt in progress
verdell has been studying for a test in his chemistry class for the last 3 days. now hes taking the exam and is trying to remember the information. the process that he is using to get the information out of memory is
o consolidation
o encoding
o retrieval
o storage

Explanation:

• Consolidation: This is the process of stabilizing a memory trace after its initial acquisition. It occurs after encoding and before retrieval, so it's not the process of getting information out of memory.
• Encoding: This is the process of converting sensory input into a form that can be stored in memory. It's the first step in memory formation (getting information into memory), not getting it out.
• Retrieval: This is the process of accessing information that has been stored in memory. When Verdell tries to remember the information for his exam, he is accessing (retrieving) the stored knowledge.
• Storage: This is the retention of encoded information over time. It's about keeping information in memory, not getting it out.

Answer:

retrieval
