Forgetting or dis-remembering is the apparent loss or modification of information already encoded and stored in an individual's long-term memory. It is a spontaneous or gradual process in which old memories are unable to be recalled from memory storage. Forgetting also helps to reconcile the storage of new information with old knowledge.
The following points highlight the eight main causes of forgetting. The causes are:
1. Inadequate Impression at the Time of Learning
2. Laps of Time
3. Interference
4. Lack of Rest and Sleep
5. Poor Health and Defective Mental State
6. Nature of the Material Learned
7. Methods Used to Learn
8. Raise in Emotion.
