Forgetting is the inability to recall or recognise information that was once stored in the memory and is now not available or cannot be accessed.

Explanations of Forgetting in STM The Decay Theory of Forgetting The decay theory of forgetting in STM states that forgetting is due to disruption of the active trace. The active trace is the engram that is formed when learning‚ which is very delicate. With learning the engram grows stronger until a permanent engram is formed‚ which is called a structural trace. One limitation to the theory is that it attempts to explain why forgetting increases with time. But this has been shown may not

determinant of forgetting is interference. Whether potentially interfering information precedes (proactive interference‚ PI) or follows (retroactive interference‚ RI) the target information‚ memory performance appears almost always to be impaired. But does this mean that the target information is forgotten? The alternative to this storage failure (or unlearning/erasing) hypothesis view cites retrieval failure (e.g.‚ via inhibition) as the key mechanism. It is easy to demonstrate that memory for an event
