Explanation of Solution

Answer and explanation

Encoding is the procedure of acquiring information, beginning with perception via the senses, and later transferring it to long-term or short-term memory.

The procedure of transferring material from long-term memory to the working memory is known as retrieval. It involves recollection of information or past experiences.

Encoding influences the retrieval of information which is majorly based on how the information was encoded when one learned it. Thus, encoding is required for storing material while retrieval is required for accessing the stored material, thereby, putting it to use.
