When you momentarily forget a friend’s name, the function of memory that has failed is the retrieval function.
Now you've worked hard to encode (via heavy processing) and store important information for your next final exam. How do you retrieve this information from memory when you need it? The act of taking information from memory and bringing it back to consciousness is called retrieval. It's like finding and opening a document you previously saved to your computer's hard drive.
You can now return to your desktop and work again. Our ability to retrieve information from long-term memory is critical to our daily functioning. You need to be able to pull information from your memory to brush your hair and teeth, drive to work, and know how to do your job once you get there.
