When we fail to encode information we sense
Encoding failure -
Failing to access encoded information
Retrieval Failure -
Conflicting information reduces memory accuracy
Interference -
Often harder to forget traumatic memories
Intrusion -
New learning disrupts the recall of old information
Retroactive Interference -
At first. information is rapidly forgotten, but the rate of forgetting decreases over time
Storage Decay -
The speed of forgetting slows down every time one
Reviews the information -
