Causes of Forgetting
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.
