👉 The Retrieval Fluid (RF) is a theoretical model in cognitive science that describes how humans retrieve information from their memory during the process of learning and recall. It posits that new information is not created anew but rather retrieved from a pre-existing memory network. This retrieval process is thought to be facilitated by the activation of interconnected nodes representing concepts, with the strength of these connections influencing the ease and speed of retrieval. The RF model emphasizes the role of context, cues, and associative links in facilitating accurate and efficient information retrieval, providing a dynamic framework for understanding how memory functions during learning and recall.
