Retrieval (refers to retrieving vocabulary from the memory): Receptive retrieval : learner encounters the word form in listening or reading, recognizes it and has to retrieve the meaning. Productive retrieval : learner wishes to communicate a meaning and must retrieve the form to use it in speaking or writing.

Yes, the vocabulary is stored in the language learner's mind in both cases. You should be able to find more on this topic if you google 'receptive retrieval' and/or 'productive retrieval'.
