This theory posits that memories have both retrieval strength and storage strength.
When studying is taking place, both retrieval strength and storage strength receive a boost.
However, the extent to which storage strength is boosted depends upon retrieval strength, and the relationship is negative: the greater the current retrieval strength, the smaller the gains in storage strength.
Thus, the information learned through "cramming" will be rapidly forgotten due to high retrieval strength and low storage strength (Bjork & Bjork, 2011), whereas spacing out learning increases storage strength by allowing retrieval strength to wane before restudy.
Whereas retrieval strength is thought to measure the ease with which a memory can be recalled at a given moment, storage strength (which cannot be measured directly) represents the extent to which a memory is truly embedded in the mind.
This theory posits that memory has two components: storage strength and retrieval strength.

We aimed at investigating rapid effects of plasma cortisol elevations on the episodic memory phase of encoding or retrieval, and on the strength of the memory trace.
The strength of retrieval of one, but not the other, representational component correlated with generalization of reward learning from direct to indirect stimuli.
One converging possibility is that absolute coding of familiarity strength is a retrieval process that contributes to recognition memory (discrimination of old and new items), whereas adaptive coding is an encoding mechanism that modulates how much is learned from repeated or novel events [Duzel et al., 2003; Johnson et al., 2008].
This interpretation of the inverse patterns of activation if the IFG and lateral parietal cortex as indicating a trade-off between top-down retrieval mechanisms and mnemonic trace strength is supported by existing literature on the neural basis of recognition memory.
The present results add new behavioral and neurophysiological evidence to earlier findings, by showing that automatic semantic retrieval remains stable in global signal strength and topographic distribution during healthy aging.
