A little over a week ago, I was getting in my car to drive home following an intense cross country workout. Too caught up in pondering my splits for our three mile time trial and too proud of the effort I had put forth, I had completely forgotten that I had a piano lesson at 5 P.M. immediately following my cross country practice. After turning on my car, I glanced down at the digital clock unaware of my predicament...5:04. I realized that I was in trouble. I was going to be late and have to…

There are five main reasons for memory retrieval failure: cue-depending forgetting, state-dependent learning, interference, transfer of training, and repression/suppression. To define these briefly, cue-dependent forgetting requires some sort of retrieval cue to be able to remember the information.

I have always had goals and dreams that have the same…

According to this view, the attempt to retrieve a target item also activates other items associated with the same retrieval cue(s), creating competition and requiring that the competing items be selected against. Intrinsic to…

Memory and remembering are important for any individual. If people did not have the ability to remember the things they learn, the result would be learning or experiencing the same things every day because one cannot retain what has been learned before.
