Memory as functions of encoding and retrieval
The processes of encoding and retrieval are intimately related, however memory itself is not only composed of the two. Memory is actually reconstructive in nature, since it integrates many different sources of information in remembering something. At the stage of retrieval, the mind uses cues, active in short term memory, to probe for pieces of the specific memory/facts desired.
Encoding and retrieval as they contribute to the function of memory are discussed, in addition to how memory works.
