    about whether memories fade due to the passing of time (decay theory) or because of events that interfere with one another (interference theory). From the research that has been done into the subject of memory one can deduce that both the decay and interference theory play an important role in understanding why we forget. The decay theory aims at explaining the reason why people are more likely to forget information over time. The decay theory is based on the idea that memories are stored in

    Explanations for forgetting. One possible explanation for forgetting is retrieval failure sometimes 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. If information is not retrieved and rehearsed‚ it will eventually be lost. One problem with this theory‚ however‚ is that research has demonstrated that even memories which have not been rehearsed or

    engram (the memory trace in the brain) gradually decays or loses its clarity. While such a theory seems reasonable‚ it would‚ if left at this point‚ do little more than restate behavioral evidence of forgetting at the nervous-system level. Decay or deterioration does not seem attributable merely to the passage of time; some underlying physical process needs to be demonstrated. Until a neurochemical basis for memory can be more explicitly described‚ any decay theory of forgetting must await detailed development
