According to my research on studies conducted by various neurologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question A likely factor in Wayne’s not being able to retrieve the information would be Encoding Failure.

Which is why Wayne failed the quiz, since because of his texting he was not able to store the information that was being given by the professor.
