retrieval
Act of recovering
Retrieval is the act of getting something back or recovering it from where it was stored.
A dog trained for retrieval fetches downed birds.
In computing, data retrieval means accessing stored information: The search engine handles millions of retrievals per second.
Memory retrieval is the cognitive process of recalling what was learned: His retrieval of names has gotten worse with age.
