2. Availability/consolidation failure:
- failure to retrieve information
- once the working memory is full new information pushes the old information out
- memory decays over time
- information that isn’t attended to isn’t encoded
3. Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve:
- recent events are easier to recall, but the rate of forgetting is also quickest shortly after learning, information is forgotten because it’s no longer available
- the probability of remembering something depends on how much time has passed since learning
- ability to remember information can be affected by information that has been/will be learned
- once the working memory is full new information pushes the old information out
4. Bartlett’s theory of reconstructive memory:
- Our memories are unreliable because our brains develop them to trick us
- Our memories are reconstructed based on information provided after the event
- Memory is an approximation, a reconstruction of the past that depends on our interpretation of the details
- Our memory is an exact replica of what happened
5. Transcience:
- information that isn’t attended to isn’t encoded
- once the working memory is full new information pushes the old information out
- memory decays over time
- failure to retrieve information
