retrieval

Explanation:

Retrieval refers to the processes of getting information back from the memory system. In that respect, there exist cognitive processes which affect storage and retrieval of information. Since Mr Cochran mentions world leaders during the war and immediately asks Kathy about one of them, it demonstrates that, through the use of the sensory register, it is possible to remember something heard a few seconds ago, even without paying attention to it. Thus, attention is important because it moves data from the sensory register into the working memory.
