Perhaps, recall involves cue sets {compound cue model} for context, time, meaning, images, and concepts. First cue activates other memories from long-term memory, which then contribute to recall process. Memory does not use spreading activation.
Perhaps, cues activate specific features {content-addressable memory} {direct access}, not cluster or class.
Perhaps, conscious concept, feeling, or memory cues can activate identical or similar long-term-memory representations and so provide non-conscious access to memories {access, memory} {cueing model}. Pattern portions can trigger retrieval of rest of pattern. First memory sets pattern. Later patterns reinforce or change memory. Cues can place secondary cues in consciousness.
Perhaps, recall activates stored perceptual and semantic codes that interact with all other memory content. Recall interprets content to make meaningful response {dynamic reconstruction hypothesis}, using background and inferred information.
Perhaps, recalling one alternative erases other alternative from memory {erasure hypothesis, recall} {replacement hypothesis}. However, after leading suggestion, people can recall original memory, supporting the idea that both memories exist at same time and all memories are permanent {co-existence hypothesis, recall} [Loftus and Ketcham, 1994].
Perhaps, misleading semantic suggestions can affect stored memories and recall, by making original memory become contradiction and so causing inhibition {inhibition hypothesis}.
Perhaps, stimulus must match receptor to open memory {lock-and-key theory}. However, this process requires trying each key in each lock.
Perhaps, data has regularities, which activate rule, which is conditional statement {message and rule system theory}. Mind checks data to see if it matches condition.
Important nodes in memory structures can activate memory {Proust's principle} {Proust principle}.
Perhaps, memory stores information samples, and recall is memory reconstruction {reconstruction, memory}. Retrieval cues are the most-strongly encoded memory parts. Retrieved memories use information from stored representation and from related memories and current perceptions.
Perhaps, in spatial network, cue activates memory, and the memory activates another memory {spreading activation model}, until reaching target or losing activation because too far away or too long in time. Recall involves associative links.
