A smell can act as a reminder of a favourite childhood meal, a song on the radio can trigger a memory from a special occasion. These are all examples of retrieval cues, but they are examples of unintentional and incidental retrieval cues. Showing a blank diagram of the water cycle while students answer retrieval questions about it. After learning about Beethoven and listening to exerts of his pieces, playing them at the start of a subsequent lesson. When practicing word problems with students, including a copy of one that was a worked example on a previous day. Including a memorable line from the story If You Give a Mouse a Cookie on a task about cause and effect. Showing a picture from a school trip to a museum for a task about the ancient civilisations in the exhibit. Asking students to list question words and reminding them of the “party invite activity” from yesterday. A retrieval cue can include a visual image, key terms, a verbal prompt or anything that helps a memory to be retrieved from long term memory. Teachers directing students to recall specific memories is an example of intentional retrieval.

A cue is an environmental signal that triggers a behavior. The animal has learned through conditioning that she can earn reinforcement by performing the behavior in response to the cue. We generally think of cues as sometime we purposefully teach, such as training a dog to come when we say the word “come.” However, a cue is anything the animal learns to associate with the potential for reinforcement (or punishment). Get out a can opener and a can of cat food, and most cats will come running. Get out the cat carrier and the cat is no where to be found. The first cue signals to the cat that he might earn a reward if he comes and the second indicates a punishing trip to the awful vet’s office is in store.
What can be used as a cue? Anything that the animal can perceive can be used as a cue. For example, in the presence of a jump a horse learns that he should jump over it, rather than run through it or stop. The jump becomes a visual signal for the behavior of jumping. I rub the inside of my horse’s leg to ask her to pick up her foot or I place a hand behind her ears to ask her to drop her head.

A cue is indirect and serves as a hint. Cues remain and prompts fade. Cueing is a hint or clue to serve as a signal or suggestion and does not lead to a direct answer. You can remember that cue sounds like clue. Cues tend to be things that naturally occur in our environment that remind us to do certain things. For example, having no clean spoons is a cue to do the dishes or the school bell ringing is a cue that class is about to begin. A cue would be walking to a dark room and providing a wait time to see if they turn on the light.

A cue or prompt is a hint given to help someone remember to do something without telling him directly. For example, if a student in a classroom is constantly out of his seat, the teacher may cue the student to stay seated using a sign or gesture, instead of saying please sit down every time he leaves his seat. Visual cues, such as pictures and picture schedules, help students remember the steps in a sequence or routine. For example, a picture schedule can remind students when they will participate in different activities throughout the day, such as math, lunch, or recess. A touch on the hand can remind a student to keep working. A teacher may holds up two fingers to remind students to quiet down. If a student is having difficulty remembering a vocabulary word, the teacher might provide an auditory cue of just the initial sound.
