Retrieval Strength

Retrieval Strength is a cognitive construct in the theory of human memory that denotes the ease and speed with which a previously learned item can be accessed from long-term memory during recall, distinguishing it from storage strength by reflecting the current accessibility rather than the durability or depth of encoding.
