3. There are two main types of forgetting:
retroactive and proactive. Retroactive
forgetting occurs when new information
interferes with old memories, while
proactive forgetting happens when old
memories interfere with new information.

4. Memory decay theory suggests that
memories fade and disappear over time if
not accessed. This process is influenced by
the strength and frequency of memory
traces. It's a key factor in understanding
forgetting.

5. According to interference theory,
forgetting occurs when similar
information competes with the target
memory.
Proactive and retroactive
interference can disrupt the retrieval of
memories, leading to forgetting.

6. Encoding failure happens when information is not properly stored in memory.
Factors such as distractions, lack of attention, and shallow processing can lead to
the failure to encode memories effectively.

7. There are various strategies to enhance
memory retention, such as
rehearsal,
chunking, and mnemonics.
Understanding the reasons behind
forgetting can help in implementing these
strategies effectively.

8. Memory ConsolidationMemory Consolidation
Memory consolidation is the process of
stabilizing and organizing memories after
initial encoding. Understanding this
process can help in preventing forgetting
and improving long-term memory
retention.
