FORGETTING IN PSYCHOLOGY
WELCOME
Fun fact: Being able to access information
quickly (i.e. on the Internet) makes you less likely
to remember it
FORGETTING
Causes and Reasons
Definition
 It’s the inability to recall or
retrieve previously learned
information.
Information may never be encoded in the long term
memory.

Transience/ Decay or fading
The Decay theory suggests that when something new is
learned, a memory “trace” is formed in the brain and over
time the trace begins to fade and disappear, unless it is
occasionally used.With this theory, if information is not
occasionally retrieved, it will eventually be lost.
