Answer:

retrieval practice effect and retrieval-induced forgetting

Explanation:

Retrieval practice effect, known also as the testing effect, is the technique of retention of information and retrieving a piece of information that should be long term. Repeating the information fro the memory ensures it is staying in the memory for a longer time, making it possible to retrieve again while also boosting the learning process.
