Forget Something?

Everyone experiences loss of memory from time to time. Advertisement

Your sure you have seen her but you just cant place her…… Who is that girl???

Some faces we could never forget

You have the word on the tip of your tongue but……. You just cant remember!! You just cant remember!!

When info that once entered long term memory cannot be retrieved it is said to be forgotten.

Some Inputs may fade away or decay, over time. In Sensory and Short Term Memory items quickly decay…..But We are still not sure if Long Term memory ever decays…

We know that a blow to the head can cause memory loss…

We know that the memories lost are the most recent ones however, the older memories seem to remain. The fact that apparently forgotten information can be recovered through meditation, hypnosis, or brain stimulation suggests at least some memories never decay.

Rather, Interference or repression causes people to lose track of them.

Interference Interference refers to a memory being blocked or erased by previous or subsequent memories. Proactive interference- When an earlier memory does the blocking Retroactive interference- When a later memory does the blocking

EXAMPLE You move into a new home get a new address and phone # You have trouble remembering them because the memory of the old Address and Phone # get in the way (proactive) Later, you know the info but have difficulty remembering the old data. (retroactive interference)

According to Sigmund Freud…… Sometimes clocking is no accident. A person may subconsciously block memories of an embarrassing or frightening experience. This kind of forgetting is called …..

Repression The Material still exists in the persons memory but it has been made inaccessible because it is so disturbing.

Hmmmm???
