Quizplus · Accepted Answer

State-dependent retrieval is the phenomenon where the memory recall process is enhanced when the individual is in the same internal or external state as when the information was initially encoded. This internal or external state can include factors such as mood, location, drug effects, or physiological state. Therefore, the correct option is C) state-dependent retrieval. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not match with the phenomenon described above. Option D is not a recognized term in psychology.
