Explanations for Forgetting

 

What are some of the major reasons why we forget information? One of today's best known memory researchers, Susan Loftus, has identified four major reasons why people forget: retrieval failure, interference, failure to store and motivated forgetting.

 

1. Retrieval Failure

Have you ever felt like a piece of information has just vanished from memory? Or maybe you know that it's there, you just can't seem to find it. One common cause of forgetting is simply an inability to retrieve a memory. One explanation for why retrieval fails is known as decay theory. According to this theory, a memory trace is created every time a new theory is formed. Decay theory suggests that over time, these memory traces begin to fade and disappear. If information is not retrieved and rehearsed, it will eventually be lost. One problem with this theory, however, is that research has demonstrated that even memories which have not been rehearsed or remembered are remarkably stable in long-term memory.

 

2. Interference

Another theory known as interference theory suggests that some memories compete and interfere with other memories. When information is very similar to other information that was previously stored in memory, interference is more likely to occur. There are two basic types of interference:

 

Proactive interference is when an old memory makes it more difficult or impossible to remember a new memory.

 

3. Failure to Store

We also forget information because it never actually made it into long-term memory. Encoding failures sometimes prevent information from entering long-term memory.   How well did you do? Chances are that you were able to remember the shape and color, but you probably forgot other minor..
