Memory is one of the important cognitive processes. Memory involves remembering and forgetting.
These are like two faces of a coin. Though these two are opposed to each other by nature, they play an important role in the life of an individual.
Remembering the pleasant experiences makes living happy, and on the other hand remembering unpleasant experiences makes living unhappy and miserable. So here forgetting helps individual to forget unwanted and unpleasant experiences and memories and keeps him happy.
In this way, remembering the pleasant and forgetting the- unpleasant both are essential for normal living. In the case of learners, remembering is very important, because without memory there would be no learning.
If learning has to progress, remembering of what is already learnt is indispensable, otherwise every time the learner has to start from the beginning.
The memory is defined as ‘the power to store experiences and to bring them into the field of consciousness sometime after the experience has occurred’. Our mind has the power of conserving experiences and mentally receiving them whenever such an activity helps the onward progress of the life cycle.
The conserved experience has a unity, an organisation of its own and it colours our present experience.
However, as stated above we have a notion that memory is a single process, but an analysis of it reveals involvement of three different activities- learning, retention and remembering.
