👉 Retrieval math is a method in cognitive science and educational psychology that focuses on the process of recalling information from memory rather than generating new content. It involves using retrieval cues—such as questions, visuals, or contexts—to activate and access previously stored knowledge. This technique is widely used in teaching and learning to enhance memory retention and understanding by making the retrieval process active. By practicing retrieval, learners strengthen their neural connections, making future recall more efficient and effective. Techniques like flashcards, quizzes, and self-testing are common applications of retrieval math in educational settings.
