One possible explanation of retrieval failure is known as decay theory. According to this theory, a memory trace is created every time a new theory is formed. Decay theory suggests that over time, these memory traces begin to fade and disappear.

Causes of Forgetting
Everyone forgets things; like a person’s name, where they left their keys, the ending to a movie, or how to do math problems. However, the reason why we forget something may differ. Have you ever felt like a piece of information has just disappeared from memory? Or have you had situations where you have no memory of a certain event? Or maybe, you know certain pieces of information exist in your mind, but you just cannot seem to retrieve it.
The inability to retrieve a memory is only one cause of forgetting. We may forget because the information was never in long-term memory in the first place. The way information is encoded affects the ability to remember it. If it is not coded effectively, we will likely forget the information in the future. We may also forget specific information because we confuse it with other information which we have processed. Information may also be forgotten simply because we have not thought about in in a long time.
The main reasons for forgetting include:
Retrieval Failure
Ineffective Encoding
InterferenceDecay or
FadingMotivated
Forgetting Physical Injury or
TraumaOrganic Causes.
Prevent Forgetting for students :-
1. Aim for mastery, not relative performance.
2. Eliminate multiple choice questions.
3. Use contextual clues.
4.Note students’ “rate of forgetting.”
5. Work digitally and save often.
6. Quiz instead of review to enhance memory for lists.
7. To prevent forgetting, ask “why.”
