Ecphory is the process that combines the information in the retrieval cue and the engram into ecphoric information.  The process of ecphory is a constructive activity that combines the episodic information from the engram and the information in the retrieval cue.  The state of ecphoric information leads to the recollective experience and is used by the conversion process to produce memory performance.  Note that the term ecphory, like the term engram was coined by Richard Semon in 1904.
