Theories of forgetting

Trace decay: Learning something creates a memory or ‘engram’ which gradually fades This affects both STM and LTM

Displacement :There are only a limited number of slots in STM – if new information is taken in then some old information must be ‘knocked out’ (displaced) This is a STM theory of forgetting

Interference: The existing memory is distorted in some way, either by something learned in the past (proactive interference) or by something learned in the future (retroactive interference) This affects both STM and LTM

Retrieval failure theory : ‘Cues’ are important  we are likely to remember information better if we recall it in the same state and context that it was learned in the first place This is a LTM theory of forgetting

Motivated forgetting: Normally taken to mean ‘motivated forgetting’ in that people unconsciously ‘repress’ (push back) painful or disturbing memories. This is a LTM theory of forgetting
