Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A retrieval cue is a stimulus that helps in accessing information stored in memory. It can be a word, a sound, a smell or any other sensory input that is associated with the memory being sought. Hints and primes are related terms but they do not necessarily help in retrieval of information as directly as cues. Code is not a relevant term in this context.
