Question

Which measure of memory retention assesses the ability to draw information out of storage and into conscious awareness?

Answer 1

Recall

Step-by-step explanation:

Memory has 3 main processes:

1. Encoding
2. Storage
3. Recall

Encoding refers to transform the information our senses are receiving to decoded information that will be stored in the brain.

Storage refers to the process that follows encoding and it refers to the actual process of placing the information into memory (either short-term or long-term).

Recall refers to the process of retrieving the information that was encoded and stored earlier. Recall takes information from the past and brings it back to our present attention.

Therefore the ability to draw information out of storage and into conscious awareness is done by the recalling process of memory retention.
