Retrieval being able to retrieve and use this information from memory. We can focus on just one conversation whilst a multitude of conversations are taking place around us. But when we hear our name being said in another conversation, we automatically pick up on it and pay attention. Broadbent (1958) furthers this with ideas of filtering. Believes we may actually be listening to all conversations on some level and filtering out the unimportant information. Therefore, when a name or something specific is said, it grabs our attention. Assumes we can listen to parallel conversations (multiple at once) This filtering prevents the overload of the system beyond its limits i. e. too much information to handle at once. The amount and type of attention determines the quality of encoding.
