The description given specifically mentions that the effectiveness of retrieval is determined by the specific nature of an item's encoding, including related information that was encoded along with it. This relates to the idea of encoding specificity, which suggests that retrieval of information is best when the specific context or conditions present during encoding are replicated during retrieval. Dual coding is a related idea that involves using both verbal and nonverbal encoding to enhance memory, but it is not mentioned specifically in the description given. Semantic integration and subjective organization are not directly related to the idea of encoding specificity.
