What will be an ideal response?
* Retrieval of short-term memory (STM) is not instantaneous as research suggests that we scan, locate, and process information in STM.
* A number of processes may be involved in the retrieval process of long-term memory (LTM) depending on the situation; in general, information is stored in semantic networks of related items; the process of activating a particular network constitutes the retrieval process; LTM also comes in the form of groupings or clusters of knowledge about an object or sequence of events, called schemas.
