All of us tend to forget things:
- You forget to stop at the store on your way home.
- You cannot remember how to solve a quadratic equation, even though you cannot imagine why you want to.
- You cannot remember whose face is on the $10 bill.
These are just three examples of the different types of forgetting we do.
For this discussion:
- Describe two examples of forgetting you have experienced.
- Identify and state what type of memory was involved for each example: sensory, short-term, or long-term.
- Describe for each example which one of the concepts from your readings may explain what happened when you forgot:
- Encoding failure.
- Decay.
- Disuse.
- Lack of memory cues.
- Interference.
