A transudative pleural effusion occurs when pleural. fluid accumulates because of an imbalance between. the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures. The leading. causes of transudative pleural effusions are congestive. heart failure, cirrhosis, and pulmonary embolism.
âRetrieval practiceâ is a learning strategy where we focus on getting information out. Through the act of retrieval, or calling information to mind, our memory for that information is strengthened and forgetting is less likely to occur. Retrieval practice is a powerful tool for improving learning without more technology, money, or class time. On this website (and in our free Retrieval Practice Guide), we discuss how to use retrieval practice to improve learning.
Psychologists distinguish among three necessary stages in the learning and memory process: encoding, storage, and retrieval (Melton, 1963). Encoding is defined as initial learning of information; storage refers to maintaining information over time; retrieval is the ability to access information when you need it.he key to improving oneâs memory is to improve processes of encoding and to use techniques that guarantee effective retrieval. Good encoding techniques include relating new information to what one already knows, forming mental images, and creating associations among information that needs to be remembered.
