- Interference
- Forgetting because one memory blocks another, causing one or both memories to be forgotten/distorted
- PROACTIVE INTERFERENCE - forgetting occurs when older memories, already stored, distort the recall of newer memories
- RETROACTIVE INTERFERENCE- forgetting occurs when newer memories disrupt the recall of older already stored memories.
- The Degree of forgetting is always greater when the memories are similar
- Retrieval Failure
- This is a form of forgetting. It happens when we don't have the necessary cues to access memory, The memory is available but not accessible unless given the correct cue.
