Yes, when the questions relates to the article. You can answer them. Shorter articles are faster to activate for books for longer text more incubation time is usually handy. Having someone ask you questions about what you photoread is one of the fastest ways to experience spontaneous activation.
Retention happens. It usually starts with how important the information is to you in the first place. How much you need it in your work, since the sooner that you can apply the information the more likely it is to stay in your memory. In this case the "use it, or lose it" saying becomes appropriate. If I wanted to keep it fresh in my conscious mind I would have to have a quick look at notes I would have made if that were my intention to remember it consciously with ease.
